Residents of regional Western Australia can now take advantage of free water-saving devices and offers. It forms part of Water Corporation‘s 2023-24 Waterwise Towns Program.
The annual program, now available in a record 47 communities Statewide, provides tailored offers to help regional Western Australians reduce water use and lower their bills.
Residents in each participating town can exchange two old, inefficient showerheads for water-saving devices free of charge under a showerhead swap offer.
Last year, hundreds of households across regional WA replaced showerheads to save millions of litres of water.
Since 2013, the Waterwise Towns Program has saved 1.8 billion litres of scheme water Statewide, helping support the long-term security of WA’s most valuable resource.
Showerhead Swap is available until 31 May 2024, while stocks last. For more information, visit watercorporation.com.au/waterwiseoffers.
Water Minister Simone McGurk:
“This year marks a decade since the Waterwise Towns Program began, and in that time, we’ve helped save 1.8 billion litres of valuable drinking water across regional communities.
“Not only does the free offer help reduce water consumption – and bills – it also allows us to spread to the waterwise message, which is incredibly important given the impact of climate change on water sources.”
Albany MLA Rebecca Stephens:
“Plenty of free water-saving initiatives are available for Albany residents, so there’s no excuse not to save water.
“Whether it’s a showerhead swap, rainwater tank rebate or irrigation service, these offers will not only conserve water, they’ll help you save money too.”
