Sewage recycling study under way
Sewage recycling study under way
A feasibility study has begun into the possibility of piping Melbourne's sewage to the Latrobe Valley for recycling and reuse.
Gippsland Water wants to treat the water and sell it to power stations that use large volumes of clean water.
Project director Brian Bayley says the clean water saved would boost environmental flows to rivers and add to town water reserves.
He says the $2 million study will take two years to complete.
"We're working flat out to get this feasibility study going and we've got to determine if its economically and environmentally viable to do it," Mr Bayley said.
"It's an exciting and interesting scheme but there's quite a few hurdles to get over and a lot of work to be done, but it's great to be part of it."
