The City of Mandurah has been recognised as one of the top water saving councils in the State.
They received platinum recognition at the Water Corporation’s Waterwise Business Recognition breakfast on Tuesday, the highest award in the Waterwise Council Program.
Last month, the City received re-endorsement as a Waterwise Council and reached Gold status, which made it eligible for the platinum award.
The Waterwise Council Program is a joint partnership between the Water Corporation and the Department of Water, supporting councils to improve water efficiency in their operations and their communities.
The Platinum status recognised the City’s efforts in water conservation and efficiency in a number of areas, including waste water reuse for the irrigation of public open spaces, the Mandurah Aquatic and Recreation Centre redevelopment and engaging the community in water wise verge transformations.
Acting Chief Executive Officer Allan Claydon said the City was proud to become an inaugural Platinum Waterwise Council of the Year, as it showed the City’s level of commitment to reducing water usage and using water more efficiently.
“We were so honoured to be named a Gold Waterwise Council last month, and now to have achieved platinum recognition is outstanding, and a testament to the ongoing efforts by our staff in water conservation,” he said.
