Businesses
The commercial and industrial sectors account for around 22 per cent of drinking water use in Sydney.
For the majority of businesses, water services represent only a very small component of overall operating costs, and water efficiency programs have to compete for resources against other core business initiatives.
To overcome these factors, a range of successful programs has been developed by the NSW Government to improve how businesses think about water and reduce their consumption. These include:
- Climate Change Fund
- Every Drop Counts Business Program
- Water Savings Action Plans
- NABERS OFFICE Water Rating Tool
A range of case studies and resources for the property sector are also available as part of the Water for Life Education Program .
To find out more view Chapter 6 of the Plan.
The Every Drop Counts Business Program has experts working with businesses to work out how to change equipment and practices to best save water and money.
