The construction of the Templestowe Reseve Stormwater Harvesting System is progressing well. There has been minimal disruption to traffic on Hawtin Street, which is a pleasant and welcome surprise.
The project includes a diversion pit near the southern entrance to the park in Hawtin Street, an inlet pipeline from the pit to an underground tank and a pump shed.

The tank has a capacity of 200,000 litres. I initially thought this was huge, but now thinking about it, if regular households installed 2000L tanks it would be equivalent to 100 households.
According to the Choice Group, in 2008 the price for a 2000L tank was $700-$900 plus labour and other installation costs. I think It would be interesting to compare whether the council project is more cost effective than the equivalent number of household installations in terms of cost and water savings.
The project started on roughly the 15th of June and is expected to take 3-4 months.

No problem too small.
