Did you know the Shire of Northam has been a Waterwise Council since 2018?
We are one of 64 local governments across WA to participate in the Waterwise Council Program. The Waterwise Council Program is a partnership between the Water Corporation and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation to support local government to improve their water efficiency and help create waterwise communities.
The Program recognises the work of local governments that lead by example and inspire residents to be waterwise. If you would like to learn more about the Shire of Northam’s Waterwise Program, please contact Kayla Burges on (08) 9622 6100.
Being a Waterwise Community is something we can all participate in!
Climate change means we all have a role to play to protect and adapt the way we use water. There are many ways you can reduce your water consumption and save the planet as well as a few dollars every year!
