New rain water tank boosts CSU sustainability

1 JANUARY 2003

As part of Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) commitment to enhancing and ensuring its future environmental sustainability, a new 22 700 litre tank has been installed at the Transport Office at the Bathurst Campus to harvest rainwater to clean the University’s fleet of vehicles. The tank and related equipment were purchased with a $5 000 grant funded under the CSU Sustainability Grants program. The manager of CSU Green, Mr William Adlong, said, “The Bathurst Campus rainwater tank is the first project to be completed under CSU’s new Sustainability Grants, which are available for different projects across CSU’s campuses. The water tank will enable the University to keep vehicles presentable even if local water restrictions are imposed. Also, we hope that the tank will be a visual reminder to staff and students of the range of actions they might consider to help us conserve water and energy and reduce our ecological footprint”.
