ACTEW Water have the cute story of two rare fish making the long an unexpected journey from Bendora to Stromlo:
A rare two-spined Blackfish, which employees from ACTEW Water’s Environment Team have appropriately nicknamed Nemo, will today return home.
The little fish made an epic journey from the Bendora Dam down miles of raw water pipes to the Mount Stromlo Water Treatment Works, where eagle eyed operators spotted it in one of the large filter beds, and undertook a swift rescue.
Once ‘Nemo’ had been fished out, the treatment plant operators made a makeshift home out of a plastic drum and quickly called on the expert environment team located in the adjacent Stromlo office.
