Across the region, Central Coast Water and Sewer supplies around 80 million litres of drinking water to more than 350,000 people in their homes and businesses. We collect this water from a variety of catchment areas which are owned and maintained by Central Coast Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This World Water Week, Central Coast Water and Sewer are asking residents to be water-wise and stick to 150 litres per person, per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director of Water and Sewer Jamie Loader confirmed Council\u2019s commitment towards future-proofing our water assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re committed to ensuring there is plenty of water for the future, regardless of whether we\u2019re in a drought or receiving regular rain. If we each aim to use less than 150 litres per person per day, our dams will stay fuller for longer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn average, every Central Coast resident uses approximately 180 litres each day. If we reduce our usage by the equivalent of three buckets each day, we will easily meet the 150-litre target\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo help our community achieve this target we have updated our \u2018Love Water\u2019 website to include tips and tricks to conserve water throughout the household, including a water calculator which estimates your daily water usage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart encouraged the community to get involved and be water-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith rainfall expected to decrease, the Central Coast is likely to experience drier conditions as we come into warmer seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new \u2018Love Water\u2019 website has tips on how to save water both inside and outside of the household as well as identifying water-wise rules across the whole community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are challenging the Coast to use less water and stick to 150 litres per day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
