1100 Homes to Install BioPods at Point Boston, South Australia
Each one of the 1100 homes at The Point Boston Peninsula development, adjacent to Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula, will have a BioPod. The first 6 have already been installed.
Approximately 2500 people will live in the $400m development. Project Marketing Director Rick Harcourt says: “ no other development in South Australia addresses water issues as extensively as Point Boston.”
The development minimises external pipework and saves on energy and CO2 emissions by not having to pump water great distances.
Mains water, which comes from the Uley Basin on which the Port Lincoln area and other Eyre Peninsula towns depend, will only be used when necessary to supplement about 10% of household requirements. Instead, in a closed loop-type system, householders will harvest rainwater and use recycled water for flushing and outside for gardening.
