WaterSmart

We are partnering with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) to help our business customers use water wisely.

Population growth and the changing climate are putting pressure on our water supply. We need to work together to build sustainable water-use practices that support our growing community.

About WaterSmart

WaterSmart helps eligible organisations:

• understand and monitor their water use
• identify opportunities to use less drinking water
• take action to use water more efficiently
• reduce their water and energy costs.

Digital monitoring

Install a digital monitoring device to record your site’s water use and help identify leaks. You will be provided with data loggers to monitor water meters and access to an online portal to track your water use (via VicFacilities).

Water audits

A detailed water efficiency audit will show you how to save water across your site and identify upgrades you can make to your equipment and fixtures.

How will my business benefit?

By joining the WaterSmart program businesses will:

• identify opportunities to save water
• make informed decisions around efficient water use
