Water smart campaign lauched in Bunbury

Aqwest and Bunbury City Council are far from watering down efforts to remind residents to report leaking taps and toilets in the city.

A new campaign has been launched to encourage community members to “play their part and be water smart”.

Stickers will be placed on the doors of public toilets throughout the city, asking people to report leaks to the council.

Stickers have also been distributed to Bunbury schools urging students to report leaks to teachers.

Aqwest chairman Stan Liaros said by reporting a leak with one phone call, community members could play an important role in conserving Bunbury’s water.

“A dripping tap can waste up to 20,000 litres a year,” Mr Liaros said.

“By reporting a leak we are adopting responsible water use practices which is essential to ensure we have a reliable water supply now and in the future.”
