The treatment plant I mentioned is in...Hello Keith,<br />The treatment plant I mentioned is indeed the Tweed Shire Council Banora Point treatment facility where we draw our irrigation water from. <br />At the moment we wash all mowers down on selected grassed areas around the course and allow the thatch of the turf to filter out contaminants. The main washdown area is adjacent to the irrigation dam and the run off from the washing activities flows back to the irrigation dam for re-use. It is not the perfect answer to the wash down issue but is the preferred method by the EPA when suitable facilities are not available. We do currently have a D.A. in for the construction of a dedicated wash down bay which will hopefully be constructed next year.Peter Lonerganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06764263278003924151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099157877850987658.post-88812478809868317872010-12-28T10:30:02.238+11:002010-12-28T10:30:02.238+11:00Hi peter,
