Funding committed to recycled water pipeline Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au THE state government will spend nearly $25 million on a recycled water pipeline which will provide water to Mordialloc. The 42 kilometer pipeline will de-
liver recycled water to 46 sites across the Kingston, Bayside, and Monash local council areas. Around 1800 megaliters of water is expected to pass through the pipeline each year. The planned Dingley Recycled Water Scheme is expected to cost $72 million to complete. As well as Mordialloc, the pipeline will provide
water to sites in Waterways, Dingley Village, Braeside, Heatherton, Sandringham, Cheltenham, and Clayton South. The state government will contribute $24.8 million to the project, and South East Water will also chip in money. It is expected to be up and running by 2025.
Victorian water minister Lisa Neville said that the scheme would help “respond to the needs of our growing population sustainably by delivering green public spaces all year round without impacting our drinking water supply.” “Those who remember the Millenium drought in the 2000s will know
the impact on businesses, parks and sporting fields and communities. This initiative will provide a rainfall independent water supply,” she said. Kingston Council has welcomed the announcement, saying that the recycled water will be used on multiple Green Wedge protected sites. Continued page 3
