Water Savings in Schools Program
Gosford City Council water saving initiative for local high schools, primary schools, non-profit early childhood centres and preschools.
Gosford City Council has introduced a water saving initiative for local high schools, primary schools and non-profit early childhood centres and preschools.
The Water Savings in Schools Program is offering ten grants per year, of up to $5,000 per school, to fund water saving projects.
Schools can choose from three standard projects developed by Council including;
- smart water meters,
- waterless urinals, or
- rainwater tanks.
Alternatively, school's may propose other water saving projects. For example, refitting water efficient devices such as tap aerators and AAA showerheads.
The application process requires a walk through water audit of the school, an outline of the proposed project (inc. quotes), details of how the project will complement the schools existing waterwise education program and information on how the project will be promoted to the school community.
In order to be eligible for the program, schools must be connected to the town water supply.
If you require assistance in determining the best project for your school, a Council representative can visit your school to provide advice on the best water saving option.
Please contact Dan Waters, Water Officer on (02) 4325 8983, for any assistance.
