Barwon Water<\/a> acting managing director Melissa Stephens said the water authority and the state government had made a significant investment in alternative water sources.<\/p>\n\u201cThe Anglesea borefield is one of a number of critical backup water sources that can supplement the existing supply system in response to dry conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccessing these backup sources is part of a balanced approach to managing the region\u2019s water resources and providing greater water security.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Anglesea borefield can provide up to 13 million litres of drinking water a day to Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Torquay, the Bellarine Peninsula, and parts of southern Geelong.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are now seeing the benefits of our planning and investment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Melbourne to Geelong pipeline, switched on in March this year, is delivering up to 20 million litres of water each day to Geelong\u2019s northern suburbs.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said the Anglesea borefield would operate in conjunction with an extensive environmental monitoring program, which includes the community in the oversight through the Anglesea River Working Group – made up of a number of key stakeholders including the representatives from the Anglesea Community Network, ANGAIR and Business and Tourism Anglesea.<\/p>\n
Barwon Water says it is committed to sharing information on the operation of the borefield.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will do this through ongoing updates to the Anglesea River Working Group, online (via our Your Say website), local community and environmental groups and information sessions,\u201d Ms Stephens said.<\/p>\n
