Stay water wise during winter

MEDIA RELEASE 23 May 2018

Reminding the community to continue saving water during the cooler months is the aim of Bathurst Regional Council’s latest Water Wise campaign.

The campaign provides resources and tips to support and remind the community to continue with water saving habits at home and in the workplace.

Mayor Graeme Hanger OAM credited community efforts to conserve water during the warmer months and said it was important the same habits continue as the cooler weather settles in.

“Water is a precious resource and it shouldn’t be wasted. It’s important that we conserve water all year round, not just in the warmer months,” he said.

“While there are currently no water restrictions in place, many regional areas are experiencing an extended period of dry weather. Implementing water saving habits year-round ensures plenty of supply is available in the long term and every individual’s contribution goes a long way to achieving that.

“Water conservation comes naturally when everyone is aware of its importance and everyone takes the time to use some simple water-saving methods around the home and in the workplace.”
