| Water and sanitation policy for the Tanum Municipality, Sweden |
| This water and sanitation policy was written to support politicians and professionals in planning, providing these communal services, and screening applications and monitoring private installations. Urine separation is treated as the norm, with new and renovated houses requiring a separate pipe, and existing houses offered discounts in sewerage fees as incentives. |

| Project Description |
Description\
This document is a water and sanitation policy, and includes instructions on how to enact the policy, which covers both houses within a sewered area, and also houses with their own wastewater treatment systems. It outlines what sort of systems are acceptable, how urine should be collected and stored and what monitoring is required.
This document represents the some of the latest developments in regulatory reform in this field, with urine separation treated as the norm.
How might this resource be useful to you?
As Australia gradually embraces more holistic solutions, such as ecosanitation, whereby nutrients in wastewater are recycled back to agriculture, then urine separating toilets will likely increase in popularity and these guidelines form Sweden will provide council with ideas on how to regulate this new dimension of wastewater treatment.
