GUEST SPEAKER:
Dan from G.V. Water welcomed Rotary to the treatment plant.
10 years ago the old plant had reached capacity and water quality was not always the best.
Options were to build new plant in town, which was not recommended due to lack of space and nearby houses. Second option was to build on a new site out of town with GM Water channel being source of water.
New site provides 300 mega litres of storage. Old plant delivered 6 mega litres per day new plant 10 mega litres a day.
Cost of plant was $12M.
G.V. Water services 54 towns from Marysville to Cobram.
Possibility of plant supplying water to Nathalia if their old plant has to be decommissioned.

Is he a good dentist?
A couple of old guys were golfing when one said he was going to Dr. Taylor for a new set of dentures in the morning.
His friend remarked that he had gone to the same dentist a few years before. "Is that so?" the first said. "Did he do a good job?"
"Well, I was on the course yesterday when the fellow on the ninth hole hooked a shot," he said. "The ball most have been going 200 mph when it hit me in the stomach. That," he added, "was the first time in two years my teeth didn't hurt."
