Clean Water for Manly Beach
Ocean Beach in Manly, a famous Sydney beach, has a new stormwater system
to help stop polluted rainwater reaching the beach. There are special
pavers along the parking spots on the road. Rain and nasties such as oil
drips drain through the pavers and filter through sand and a soil containing
microbes that digest the pollutants. Clean water comes out the other side!
The clean water is stored underground and reused to water Manly's famous
Norfolk Island Pines. The Manly Council did this project with help from
our Urban Stormwater Initiative.
