The Smart Water Fund has announced that applications will open during October for $1 million in funding to support innovative urban water projects which can demonstrate innovation and leading edge research that will have a positive impact on the Victorian water industry.
Round 10 is open to commercial businesses, research institutions and consulting firms for projects which are able to demonstrate benefits. Specifically, the Fund will seek applications in the areas of:

- Innovation in asset planning, construction, operation, maintenance and renewal with the potential to enhance industry productivity, service level or reduce costs.
Online applications will open on the 26th October and close at 2:00pm 15th November 2012.
