Glen Iris Community Update – Dean Road/Twin Waters Pass works

Work is underway this week to clean out the dry mud from the bottom of the former lake on the corner of Dean Road and Twin Waters Pass.

This is in response to reports from nearby residents of odour emanating from the mud when it was getting wet from rainfall in November. Following those reports, we arranged for the material to be tested by environmental consultants. That testing showed it to be organic material with no measurable contaminants, allowing the material to be safely removed.

A single bobcat will scrape the dry mud from the former lake, and it will be taken by a small truck to be stockpiled on-site away from any existing homes.

We will also be removing the liner from the lake so it does not hold stormwater again next winter.

This work is expected to be completed by the end of this week (Friday 15th January 2021).
