Water flows for wetlands

By Shaun Inguanzo
WATER saving initiatives keep flooding in to Greater Dandenong, including two major announcements last week.
The City of Greater Dandenong and Dandenong’s Nissan factory have joined forces to ensure half a million litres of water from Nissan’s fire service storage tanks will go to recently-created wetlands at Wachter Reserve, Keysborough.
Nissan’s tanks are in need of repair, and instead of disposing of the water down a drain, the environmentally conscious company contacted the council to donate and transport the water to Wachter Reserve.
In a separate announcement on Friday 25 May Dandenong MP John Pandazopoulos announced that the City of Greater Dandenong had received $50,000 of State Government money to install recycled water holding tanks at the Greaves, Alex Nelson, Noble Park, Shelpley Oval, Turner and Wachter reserves.
