Industry recognised for saving billions of litres of water

摘要

Western Australian Water Minister Dave Kelly recently recognised the top savers in the Water Corporation's non-residential water saving programs. Together, the 316 participants in the Waterwise Business, Waterwise Office and Waterwise Development programs helped save 11 billion litres of water in 2016-17. "Through these programs more than 83 billion litres of water -about 36,889 Olympic swimming pools - has been saved since 2007, when the first program began," Minister Kelly said. The Waterwise Business Program assists non-residential customers, using more than 20 million litres of scheme water each year, to save water. The Carnamah Recreation Centre received top honours in the Waterwise Business Program, with a Platinum recognition for reducing its water use by more than 50 per cent since it joined the program a decade ago. The Waterwise Office Program is a partnership between the Water Corporation, Property Council of Australia and City of Perth, and helps office building owners and managers to save water. GDI Property Group, which operates 197 St Georges Terrace, achieved a Platinum recognition in the Waterwise Office Program.
