St Arnaud's stormwater harvesting system is unreliable and does not always provide enough water to irrigate the township's green spaces.

A significant quantity (up to 40 ML/year) of reclaimed water could be transferred from the winter storage at GWMWater's wastewater treatment plant to top up the harvested stormwater at the Goldfields Reservoir for reuse on council green spaces.
The Greening St Arnaud project will provide water to the following green spaces:
