Make every drop count

In line with the Victorian Government’s Target 155 water conservation program, Greater Western Water along with three other water corporations (Melbourne Water, South East Water and Yarra Valley Water) are uniting this month to launch Make Every Drop Count.

The water conservation campaign engages the community and water conservation experts to share mindful water saving hacks. It will help households take small, but collectively high-impact, steps to reduce their average daily individual water usage from 159 to 155 litres a day.

The joint initiative also responds to water saving concerns. A recent survey, Saving

Water in Melbourne (SWiM) conducted by Melbourne’s water corporations, found:

Melburnians think water conservation is very or extremely important (80%), yet almost a third admit they don’t think they are doing enough to save water (29%)

Common methods used by Melburnians to save water include limiting their showertime (38%), installing a water-saving shower head (57%), and always turning off the tap while shaving or brushing their teeth (63%).

Most Melburnians admit they don’t know the recommended amount of water usage per person per day (61%) or their actual usage per day (62%).
