Education

MidCoast Water will continue to provide education on saving water to households, schools, tourists and the general community.

Each year we visit preschools, primary schools and high schools to promote saving water and water efficiency, as well as providing information on how to look after our systems and our environment. Our website provides much information on water efficiency and we also send out educational information with our quarterly water bills.

The more we can make people aware of how to be water efficient, how reduce water use and the benefits of doing so, the less water we need to source from our rivers and groundwater systems.

Changes to water pricing over the past decade or so have helped people to recognise the economic value of water. Rural water users have always valued their water and there is often a ‘disconnect’ between urban water users and their rural counterparts. Continued education on reducing water use can help to bridge this disconnect.
