The urgency of water recycling systems in Dubai

Dubai residents are facing a significant 50% increase in sewerage fees, with new rates set to take effect in 2025. The fees will rise from the current rate of 1 fil per gallon to 1.5 fils per gallon, with subsequent increases in 2026 and 2027 — reaching 2 fils and 2.8 fils per gallon, respectively. This will mark a dramatic 180% increase in sewerage costs over the next few years. The announcement comes at a time when Dubai’s population is rapidly growing, projected to rise from 3.8 million today to 5.8 million by 2040. With an influx of new residents each year and increased demand for water and infrastructure, the government has prioritized water conservation as a critical step toward maintaining sustainable growth.

This is where innovative water recycling systems come into play, offering an effective solution to cut water usage and lower wastewater output, directly mitigating the impact of higher sewerage bills.

How water recycling systems help offset rising sewerage costs in Dubai

Water recycling systems, like the revolutionary Hydraloop, treat greywater—used water from showers, sinks, and washing machines, and HVAC condensation —making it suitable for reuse in non-drinking applications such as:

• Toilet flushing
• Irrigation for gardens
• Laundry cycles
• Topping up swimming pools

This simple shift can significantly reduce the demand for freshwater while minimizing the wastewater sent to the sewerage system, leading to direct cost savings on both water bills and sewerage fees. Since sewerage costs are typically linked to water usage, and recycled water can cover up to 45% of daily household water needs, reusing water to send less wastewater into the system means you pay less overall.

Hydraloop: A cost-saving game-changer for Dubai population

Hydraloop is at the forefront of water recycling innovation. Its compact, easy-to-install system treats greywater efficiently and automatically, making it ready for reuse in a variety of applications. Hydraloop users report significant reductions in water usage and waste output between 25 up to 45%, helping to offset the impact of rising sewerage fees.

The unique, patented system is simple to install and low-maintenance, and is managed through an app, offering proactive insights for water-saving and online support.
