$20 million to help secure Geelong's water supplies ...

The Rudd Government will fulfil an election commitment by providing $20 million to enable the Shell Refinery in Geelong to substitute potable water use with recycled water.

Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, said the funding would allow the refinery to develop a new Northern Water Plant, which will save at least 2,000 megalitres of water per year.
