Schools Water Efficiency Program
The Schools Water Efficiency Program (SWEP) helps all schools connected to a reticulated water supply to save water and promote water awareness throughout the community.
This $3 million program offers a simple solution to water conservation, through simple measures, such as fitting flow-control valves and fixing leaky taps or cisterns. It also identifies where action may be taken to best target water savings in the future.
