TS The Kinglake project represents the cutting edge

of innovation by an Australian water utility

!! First urine diversion trial with ‘regular’ residential customers (vs. ecovillage)

!! New decentralised wastewater technologies !! YVW infrastructure elements within residential

boundaries !! New modes of servicing (eg. nutrient management

system) !! Qualitative social research to support introduction of

new socio-technical systems

YVW recognised that sustainable socio-technical innovation requires an understanding of social perspectives 2!

YVW approached ISF to draw out social learning

International UD experience

Local UD experience

•! Sustainability implications of global phosphorus scarcity for food security (Dana Cordell) •! Collating international UD case studies •! Social research on UD case studies – Sweden (Dena Fam)

UTS urine diversion trial •! Tools to gather user perspectives •! Evaluate learning by the project team •! Aust Standards Technology testing •! Industry engagement

The Kinglake project was an opportunity for mutual benefit so ISF co-invested to extend the social research

ISF has been actively engaged in the UD space for a number of years now!

Rigorous social research alongside technological trials provides better outcomes

There were many points of interaction between YVW’s work program and ISF s social learning project

At the same time ISF was gaining 1st hand experience in its own UD trial

6!The social, technical, communication and regulatory insights were

shared with YVW 6!

Bushfires increased the complexity of an already complex project!

•! Timing - speed and scale of installation •! Number of participants – incentives and motivations changed •! Sensitivity in engagement – apprehension in communication •! Retrofit to greenfield – cost, increasing water tank size

YVW

•! Expectations of project timing •! Emotional resources and skills required for social research •! Constantly changing information eg. household numbers,

technical challenges of technologies, customer perceptions, timing

ISF

•! Motivations for uptake changed, greater influence of financial incentives •! Regulatory requirements for increased tank sizes questioned the

validity of the greywater system •! Accepting systems without understanding the implications

Residents

!and brought surprises all round! 7!

The social research revealed that the end-user is often left out of the equation

!! International & local literature review showed manuals are rarely tailored to support the user in using new technology

!! There was inadequate consideration of end-user habits at Kinglake in the modelling for technology selection eg. frugal water use habits

!! Product manufacturers, on whom YVW and users depended for performance/maintenance information, failed to provide realistic, practical information.

8!

End-user acceptance is the make or break issue for the successful adoption of socio-technical innovation 8!

TS Pre-installation interviews provided feedback on

motivations, concerns and feedback on management

9!

Emerging themes Sample of illustrative quotes

Motivations for uptake ranged from: •! Economic •! Environmental •! Felt they had no choice •! Peer influence

“Cost wise, it’s good you guys are doing it ’cos that does take that burden off us. ! in the long term we are going to have a system that we’re not going to have too many problems with.”

Pride in pioneering innovation “I think, all in all it’s a great idea and I’m very proud that we can be part of something.” “I think it will be a bloody! “come have a look at our loo!”

Additional costs concerns: •! energy •! sewerage fees •! maintenance & operation

“The systems not energy friendly, we have 3-4 pumps and we don’t want that, its a lot of power. How much is it going to cost us?”

Viability of Greywater system “!I've put in a 106,000 litre water tank so I'm not worried about grey water in a sense” 9!

TS Post-installation interviews captured challenges

residents faced throughout the trial

10!

Emerging themes Sample of illustrative quotes Dealing with tradesmen •! Communicating with plumbers •! Coordinating tradesmen

“Unfortunately we had a lot of problems between the builders and...Schultz because there was lack of communication between them”.

Blockages “We have small blockages, and a big blockage when we first moved in, we only get small ones”

Functionality of UD toilets •! odour •! cleaning •! faecal separation •! toilet flushing

“We have had odour issues because it’s (urine tank) been emptied. we’ll see how it goes this time...it only started when it emptied (the urine tank)”.

•!Adapting to using new systems “Look, I mean we can’t say anything bad about the system. I don’t have any issues. The initial teething problems with the alarms going off, they all got sorted!”

Clear paths are needed for social learning outcomes to land so they are acted upon

11!

Reflecting on weaknesses as well as strengths leads to improved practice

EARLY SUGGESTIONS MADE BY RESIDENTS

IMPLEMENTED UNDER DIFFERENT DRIVERS, MANY MONTHS LATER

•! Process for auditing contractors work

•! Project manager mediation with tradies

•! Establishing clear complaints process eg. fault line

It is therefore not whether technological change should occur, but how to strategically manage a transition toward P sustainability!

Summing up and moving forward!

!! The project enabled reflective social learning by YVW, which improves capacity for innovation

!! Leading innovation is more complicated than we expected: –! Including end-user’s experiential knowledge would have smoothed

the trial and improved outcomes for YVW and residents –! From a sustainability perspective, UD is the best way to recover P,

but UDTs are not quite there yet! –! Integrating the innovation program with existing systems needs

attention –! Installing systems on resident properties requires a whole different

set of skills Rigorous, qualitative research supports technological trials by

unveiling the social implications of innovation
