Shillinglaw Creek - Share what this waterway means to you

We’re keen to understand what Shillinglaw Creek means to you and how you use the waterway.

We’re asking these questions because we release water into Shillinglaw Creek from the Drouin wastewater treatment plant. This happens at the end of our treatment process when the water is safe to be returned to the environment.

As Drouin grows, there's more demand for our services. More people using showers, sinks, toilets and washing machines creates more wastewater for us to treat.

Understanding how you use the creek and what you value about it helps us ensure our community and environment thrive, including the local wildlife we love to see in local waterways.
