FOBC Stormwater Project - Fish on Drains Project UP AND RUNNING

The marking of stormwater drains with a “Fish” in and around Wanaka was originally an initiative of Chris Arbuckle from Touchstone to heighten public awareness of where our “waste water” ends up! Since then Wai Wanaka has been working with various community groups around the Upper Clutha for their Adopt a Drain project. Our friends from Wai Wanaka have produced a neat brochure explaining the importance of stormwater drains being for rainwater only and will be attending with FOBC during our marking of stormwater drains.

As part of our Bullock Creek Neighbours project, our personal meet and greet will commence this week (30 Aug) in Stone St, immediately adjacent the wetlands and we’ll slowly be working our way downstream during the spring and summer months. We are proposing to pop-in to see our BC neighbours, early evening between 5 - 6pm. Please feel free to come out and see us putting a fish on your street drains and have a chat with us.
