The challenge
Emu Gully Adventure Education Centre hosts more than 600 people every week for outdoor leadership programs. Reliable water is mission-critical, but the site depended on an unreliable town main, faced recurring boil-water alerts, and was forced to truck water in and pump out wastewater at significant cost.
The solution
In 2024, Emu Gully installed a Salventa PLW3 freshwater system, supplying safe drinking water to the centre independently of the town main. The system turns their existing supply into a safe, consistent source and removed the need for trucked-in water and costly underground concrete tank infrastructure.
The outcome
- Supplies safe water to more than 600 people each week
- Continuous and reliable operation since 2024
- Zero boil-water alerts where they were previously recurring
- Saved approximately $250,000 per annum in pump-out fees
- Removed the need for more than approximately $100,000 in underground concrete tank infrastructure
- All key system components are data monitored and ready for future app-based site management
"Partnering with PLW changed everything. We now operate with total water security: low cost, compliant, and simple to run."
