Successful Water Grant 2007

Australian government community water grant project

 

In May 2007 the PBC was successful with its community water grant. The grant will enable the club to save a great deal of water with tanks, dual-flush toilet, water-free urinal.

 

Before water grant was obtained:

The existing Sprinklers for greens wasted huge amounts of water

These ancient and ineffiecient watering systems are a thing of the past.

A modern irrigation system has been installed with pipes and jets around the main bowling green. All water goes on the green and not a drop for the concrete paths.

In May 2007 the club put in a new roof, guttering, downpipes and rainhead.

This was required to fix some troublesome leaks but also in preparation for the rainwater tanks.

The recent installation of three slimeline tanks around the club walls harvests a lot of water.

They are linked to three inside toilets and with a total of 9,500 litres and the club's reliance on Sydney Water will be greatly reduced.
