It's been a busy week for our school tours in the Yarra Valley - groups from Deakin University visited the YVW Upper Yarra Sewage Treatment Plant last week at Launching Place, and this week RMIT and secondary groups visited the MW Winneke Water Treatment Plant at Christmas Hills. It's been great to get students out for important site visits!

We are releasing water for the environment in the Yarra River (Birrarung) to provide a summer fresh flow 💦

The release will run from 19 to 27 February, the water will help flush pools and riffles to prevent a decline in water quality and maintain habitat quality for fish and waterbugs.

We are delivering the water on behalf of the Victorian Environmental Water Holder and as always, we will be monitoring the flows during the release.
