Question: With the upgrades to the riverfront at Berri, can you please advise the status of the stormwater from Berri and whether it goes raw into the river or is treated? Answer MIS: Approximately 96% of the stormwater from the Berri township is retained, with the majority of this water being reused. The remaining 4% of captured stormwater is discharged into the river. This is method of discharge is not planned to be changed within the current plans for the Berri Riverfront. Around 2010 an 18 month joint project was undertaken between Council and the NRM Board to monitor stormwater from the outlet adjacent the CIT pump station on the Berri Riverfront (corner of Crawford Terrace and Riverview Drive). During this time the stormwater was found to have no significant levels of tested substances. Updated map- Total- 3,674,422m2 River- 153,594m2 =4.19% Retained- 3,520,828m2= 95.8%
