Tour 2: Aquarevo demonstration house – South East Water

Aquarevo is South East Water’s flagship circular water development, designed to reduce potable water use by up to 70% through a closed-loop system. Each home is supplied with drinking water, harvested rainwater, and Class A recycled water treated on site at a pioneering estate-scale water recycling plant. Smart systems such as TankTalk® (which pre-releases rainwater before storms), OneBox® (a digital water and energy hub), and rain-to-hot water treatment integrate water use, energy efficiency, and stormwater management. Together, these features cut stormwater runoff and nutrient loads, improve urban greening, and showcase a replicable model for sustainable, water-sensitive communities.
