Case Studies - Primary Stormwater Treatment
Humes Water Solutions have played an integral part in the implementation of a Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) strategy for a new community village in New South Wales. Casuarina Grove at Hamlyn Terrace on the Central Coast, is the first village for ageing people with intellectual disabilities to be built in the state.
Installing two HumeGard® Gross Pollutant Traps (GPTs) at Federation Park, Warwick, has improved public amenity for people enjoying the popular park on the Condamine River, while also greatly improving water quality in this important waterway before it feeds into the Murray-Darling Basin.
