A PROJECT to improve water quality in Frankston South has been completed.
South East Water has installed a new floating cover and dewatering system at the Rosedale Grove basin. The water storage cover is designed to improve water quality by reducing sunlight exposure, preventing algal growth and limiting evaporation.
South East Water is also planning to upgrade the floating cover at its Eliza Drive basin in Mount Eliza. South East Water managing director Carla Purcell said “we know getting the basics right is important to our customers.”
“Maintaining critical storage infrastructure is essential, and these upgrades help us keep delivering safe, high-quality drinking water every day,” she said.
Frankston MP Paul Edbrooke said “supporting our growing local community with investment that matches its size is crucial to ensuring a safe and reliable water supply.”
