water2WATER information session - ACT

As we all know, water is a hot topic at the moment. Inflows to our dams have declined by 63% in the last six years and by almost 90% in 2006. This has led ACTEW to initiate the water2WATER project.

Their proposal aims to supplement the ACT's water supply by purifying Canberra's used water and adding this to the Cotter reservoir. Construction to enlarge the dam in this reservoir is also being considered.

The ACT Government and ACTEW are working to inform, educate and encourage Canberrans to discuss the water2WATER project and have offered information sessions for community groups.

I have organised for ACTEW to come and talk to the Molonglo Catchment Group, Ginninderra Catchment Group, Southern ACT Catchment Group, ACT Waterwatch and other interested community members, about their water recycling proposal - water2WATER. You are invited to attend this information session. Please RSVP so we have an idea of the numbers.
