• Water Recycling

In the late 1980’s, population and tourism growth in Hervey Bay had created the need for more sewage treatment facilities. The Environmental Protection Agency would not permit the extra treated sewage to be discharged to local creeks that flow into the bay - an ocean outfall was required. However, in a community where tourism relies on preserving the pristine waters of the region, any impact on the bay was considered unacceptable.
