ERA Water

The Town of Walkerville is one of three member Councils of the ERA Water Regional Subsidiary. The other Councils are the City of Burnside and the City of Norwood, Payneham and St Peters.

ERA Water harvests stormwater from Third and Fourth Creeks at Felixstow, cleans the stormwater through wetlands and biofilters and UV light treatment  and injects the cleaned stormwater into the aquifer to withdraw in summer to irrigate Council parks and reserves, ovals and other areas of privately controlled open spaces in the eastern suburbs.

Having access to this harvested stormwater helps ensure greener neighbourhoods which provide improved amenity as well as liveability, health and well being benefits.

ERA Water became a subsidiary of the Town of Walkerville on 21 July 2015
