| There's more to water supply than you think |
The treatment of water, whether it’s producing clean fresh drinking water or treating sewage and wastewater, is a complicated process. There’s a lot more involved in the water supply chain than meets the eye.
To provide an insight into this fascinating process Shoalhaven Water is running monthly tours of two of the region’s major water and wastewater treatment facilities. The tours are designed to enable community and school groups to become more familiar with how the Shoalhaven’s water is collected, purified and then treated once it’s been used. They also take in the wider issues of community health and the vital long-term maintenance of the Shoalhaven’s waterways and environment
The guided bus tours are free for community groups and include lunch for all guests. They take about 5 hours and cover the entire process as well as providing an insight into some of Shoalhaven Water’s award winning water conservation practices including the internationally recognised Recycled Water Management Scheme (REMS) at the Callala Sewage Treatment Plant.
