Barwon Water Acting Managing Director Mel Stephens said we should all look at our water habits.
“Everyone has a role to play in saving water,” she said.
“Using water wisely and taking simple measures to save water around the home can help make a significant difference across the region.
“Simple actions like shorter showers, turning off taps while brushing teeth, and watering the garden in the cool of the day, can help save water.”
