Celebrating our Environment
Each year in June Hobart Water celebrates Environment Week. The week involves numerous environmental activities/talks and the annual internal environmental awards. This year Hobart Water also sponsored an award at the Tasmanian Awards for Environmental Excellence.
Tasmanian Awards for Environmental Excellence
Hobart Water was also a major sponsor at the 2007 Environmental Awards. We sponsored the 2007 Water Award, which was awarded for outstanding achievement in protecting and enhancing Tasmania’s water resources, including freshwater and marine environments.
Staff Environmental Awards
At the awards staff who go beyond the call of duty to ensure Hobart Water remains diligent to its environmental commitment are recognised.
Our Environmental Awards
Hobart Water has been awarded for some of its innovative environment projects. Below is a list of projects that have gained recognition outside the organisation.
- At the 2006 Tasmanian Awards for Environmental Excellence, Hobart Water was a finalist for the Local Government Award. The project was the management of water treatment filtration residuals at the Bryn Estyn Treatment Plant. The project, which was phased in over 12 years, involved the construction of two lagoons, three drying pans and a monitoring program to address potential social and environmental impact.
- Institute of Planning Award. In 2000, Hobart Water was awarded the Planning Award for the Lake Fenton Catchment management plan.
