Recommendation
50. Manage water demand by:
- reviewing and implementing the Waterwise Perth: two year action plan to further improve urban water efficiency
- developing and implementing plans, similar to the Waterwise Perth: two year action plan, for regional areas where benefits can be demonstrated
- implementing and, where necessary, introducing expanded water efficiency programs, such as the water government trading enterprises Waterwise programs, to offset the development of new water sources
- reducing water consumption through education and improved consumer awareness, including by increased use of smart meters, and applying digital technologies to optimise asset performance.
