There is no evidence that COVID-19 is transmitted by water. NSW Health advises ‘Human coronaviruses are spread from someone with confirmed coronavirus to other close contacts with that person through contaminated droplets spread by coughing or sneezing, or by contact with contaminated hands, surfaces or objects.’
In both the Sydney and Hunter regions, drinking water remains safe to drink.
When creating Altogether’s high quality recycled water, viruses are eliminated through our highly regulated treatment process including ultrafiltration membranes, ultraviolet disinfection and chlorine disinfection, meaning your recycled water is also safe to use for authorised purposes.
