Holding Gives Recycled Water Projects the Thumbs Up
Source: Victoria. Minister for Water. Media Release
"Water Minister Tim Holding visited Bendigo’s major park and sportsground to see the benefits that recycled water was providing to the region. Mr Holding said that since April over 35 million litres of alternative water had helped turn Queen Elizabeth Oval and Rosalind Park Precinct from drought affected ‘dustbowls’ back to outstanding ‘green’ community facilities for the region. “Bendigo is leading the way in Victoria for water recycling,” Mr Holding said. “Recycled water helps reduce demand on our drinking water supplies and provides an alternative source of water for industry and our sportsgrounds.” Mr Holding said the region’s new “water factory”, at the Bendigo Water Reclamation Plant at Epsom will soon be supplying more than four billion litres of high quality recycled water a year for public gardens and sporting grounds and rural irrigation."
