Water Tech supports local primary school

In support of our local community, Water Technology helped Vermont Primary School obtain a grant from the Victorian Government for an integrated water management plan for the site. This involves the installation of a green roof on the Library, integrated raingardens and outdoorspace, and new water efficient drinking fountains. Over the last few months we have worked to finalise the project plan, with construction looking to start in the next couple of months. We will continue to work with the school during the construction works and will bring you details as the project progresses.
