The Blinking Billy Sewage Pump Station is set for a face lift in October later this year. Tasmanian artist Bec Adamczewski will mentor two young emerging Tasmanian artists on the project.

This location represents the vital connection between our community and the marine environment. The waters surrounding lutruwita/Tasmania have sustained life for thousands of generations, and today face unprecedented challenges from climate change.

The Project will contribute to youth climate advocacy by providing a platform for young people and artists to share their voices and concerns about marine environment.

Since creation, the palawa have lived here in lutruwita - Tasmania. Over 2,000 generations of Aboriginal families have cared for this Country, looking after its lands, seas, skies and waterways.

In the spirit of respect and gratitude, TasWater acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional and ongoing custodians. We pay our respects to them, their culture and to elders past and present. We also acknowledge any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are here with us today.

TasWater commits to working collaboratively and respectfully with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to protect and sustain the precious resources on this ancient land for future generations.
