Nanobubbles to Save Torrens Lake | Adelaide News

Torrens Lake is shut down again—this time due to dangerous enterococci bacteria—marking the third closure this year and hitting rowing clubs and boat tours hard. Last year’s E. coli outbreak killed thousands of fish, turning the city’s centerpiece into a recurring environmental crisis. Local singer-songwriter John Schumann, living nearby, is pushing for a bold solution: nanobubble technology that uses microscopic oxygen and ozone bubbles to break down contaminants without harming wildlife. Though past skepticism lingered over scientific proof and ecological risks, Deputy Lord Mayor Carmel Noon is now backing the trial, calling it the council’s duty to act. If successful, this targeted test could restore the lake’s health—and reopen its doors to the public, businesses, and community pride.
