Choose from the options below and register online (bookings essential) so make sure you book if you want to take part. 

 

WATER TREATMENT PLANT Glenquarry 
  • Tuesday 30 July : 9.30 am - 10.30 am

Want to know where your water comes from?

Why can't we drink water directly from the Wingecarribee dam?

Come along to find out the answers to these questions and more.

Water usage is often not considered in our everyday life, but water conscious behaviour is a learnt behaviour, and more importantly a behaviour that we need to be better at. Water efficiency is largely about improved water usage behaviours and improved efficiency of fixtures and fittings to reduce water losses through leaks and drips.

Meeting notes:
Please meet at the picnic area, called Wingecarribee Picnic Area which is accessed from Kangaloon Road, by the picnic bench. Depending on numbers we may need to transport the group in a bus and this is the most suitable area to meet.

  • Tuesday 30 July : 11.00 am - 12.00 pm

Want to know where your water goes? Why is it important that we consider what we flush, or what goes into our stormwater drains? Come along to find out the answers to these questions and more.

Water usage is often not considered in our everyday life, but water conscious behaviour is a learnt behaviour, and more importantly a behaviour that we need to be better at.

Please note the the plant isn’t wheelchair accessible at all due to the nature of the tanks and layout (a few stories of steps too).
