Saving Water and Energy
Climate change and the ongoing dry conditions mean the way Victorian businesses value and use water and energy must change forever.
City West Water is working with the Victorian Government to secure our water supplies in the long term, with new projects that do not rely on rainfall.
City West Water is engaging our business customers to look for new ways to save water and energy. This section highlights a number of initiatives designed to help our business customers to achieve water and energy savings.
Business Resource Efficiency Program
The Business Resource Efficiency Program is designed to help our major industrial, commercial and institutional customers save water, cut costs and become more sustainable through the waterMAP program. The waterMAP is an action plan outlining how and where water efficiency can be improved in your business.
Advantages of the program include:
- a better understanding of water use within your business
- behavioural change of staff and other water users that leads to further water conservation
- helping to ensure that water is available for future generations
- enhanced company profile and reputation as a result of your improved environmental performance
- a choice of knowledgeable service providers to help deliver program initiatives.
The program can save money for your business through:
- reduced consumption of drinking water
- reduced discharge to sewer and associated costs
- reduced water and wastewater treatment costs
- potential funding assistance to investigate and implement water efficiency measures
- reduced energy costs and greenhouse emissions.
Ongoing Support
We will provide ongoing support to help you analyse and understand your water use patterns and trends, engage qualified service providers, assist with funding applications and develop your waterMAP.
