Permanent Water Saving Plan

Common sense rules to encourage the efficient use of water and avoid wasting this precious resource.

The community recognises that water is a precious resource and should not be wasted. This Permanent Water Saving Plan reflects the value that the community places on water and sets out a set of common sense rules to encourage the efficient use of water and avoid wasting this precious resource.

The rules in this plan are designed to support the commitment that Victorian communities have made to using water more efficiently. Many households and businesses are harvesting their own water through rainwater tanks, have installed water-efficient appliances, are adopting water-wise practices, and are choosing to turn off their taps whenever possible.

The rules in this plan support this collective commitment by requiring the community to use common sense and best practices as part of their everyday use of water.
