Save water in the home
We have come a long way in building water saving habits, but the average household in the Lower Hunter uses 177 litres of water per person daily.
How to save water
Rain, hail or shine, we can always be mindful about how we use water in and around our homes.
Every day is a good day to save water
It’s always important to take it easy on our water supply, no matter the weather.
Whether it's bucketing down in Maitland, or scorching at Merewether, we can be mindful about how we use water in and around our homes.
