In July
some excellent water savings were made through the program’s
work at the township of Wallabadah, one of the communities
recently needing water cartage 60km south of Tamworth. The
WLMP enabled leakage to be investigated, detected and cut
by 70% thereby saving 20% of the small town’s usage!
Three
new council applications were received in July and the Water
Directorate and LGSA are very keen to repeat the Wallabadah
savings exercise on a larger scale in all of the fourteen
councils now in the WLMP. Three more workshops are being planned
for Kempsey, Gunnedah and Nyngan/Cobar and further workshops
are likely in the Moruya/Batemans Bay area and Goulburn.
A
technical presentation is currently being developed for the
website and a general WLMP brochure is also currently being
developed. For further information about workshops, application
forms etc visit www.WaterLoss.lgsa.org.au
