Coliban Water is drawing on this year’s National Water Week (16-22 October) theme, United by Water. It is encouraging its customers to reflect on personal water stories and celebrate water’s important role in connecting us all.
Executive General Manager Customer and Stakeholder Experience Lauren McLean said water touches all our lives and brings us together in many ways.
“Water drives economic growth, supports healthy ecosystems and is essential for life,” she said.
The organisation has been encouraging customers to send in a photo with their own water story. Entrants will go into the draw for the chance to win a $200 credit off their Coliban Water account.
“Perhaps it was catching your first Murray Cod, long summers spent by Lake Eppalock with friends, or the simple joy of running through the humble backyard sprinkler with siblings. Water is deeply ingrained in so many of our memories,” McLean said.
To commemorate National Water Week, Coliban Water will be popping up around our region to celebrate all things water. It’ll be making a splash with a fantastic event at the Bendigo Library. This follows several events already held at Kyneton and Echuca.
Coliban Water getting into National Water Week
Join us on Saturday, 21 October, to celebrate National Water Week at the Bendigo Library.
“We’ve aimed to create something for everyone at this Bendigo event. It includes a Wonderful Water story time, games and activities for kids, information on the River Detectives and Water Watchers program. We will be working with the North Central Catchment Management Authority (NCCMA) and lots more,” McLean said.
National Water Week events are being held across Australia, such as Water Night. Water Night is an annual event supporting more decisive action on climate change and water awareness.
“On Water Night, we ask individuals and households to turn off all non-essential taps from 5-10 pm to increase water awareness and lead to long-term behavioural change. Participation in Water Night has been shown to increase water literacy, helping people value tap water more and use it wisely; why not get your family or school involved?” she said.
