One innovative South Australian man has put his heart and soul into developing an effective grey-water treatment system for boats on inland water over several years and it is finally coming together. The Environment Protection agency is currently monitoring the operation of the treatment plant on 9 vessels on the River Murray and it is doing very well.

The limitation is that it is a treatment plant and the operators need to accept this and be trained to maintain it. It must be flushed at 25psi every 7 days. The trails are due to be completed in October with a report out in November.

The system has been under test for 8 years and has cost millions of dollars so hopefully all his work and dedication will pay off now. This is a wonderful SA home grown invention.
