Barwon Water’s Summer Series is in full swing with 11 community pop-ups happening across the region.
After a successful first-up event at Lorne with hundreds of Nippers at Lorne, the Summer Series has moved east to Geelong and the Bellarine.
Mascot ‘Drop’ took to the sand with their Barwon Water colleagues to spread the word on sustainable water use.
With a range of activities, giveaways and information, the Summer Series aims to engage with residents and visitors across the length and breadth of the region during this peak period.
Barwon Water’s region – which takes in Geelong and Bellarine, Apollo Bay and Colac – swells from about 380,000 people to 580,000 during January.
Acting general manager customers, community & strategy Emma Connan said with the rising population placing a great demand on water supplies, it was timely to focus on why ‘Water Matters’.
“We’re meeting people where they like to spend time in summer – at beaches, foreshores and holiday parks – to talk about how we can all use water wisely,” Ms Connan said.
“While our storage levels are secure, they can drop quickly and it’s vital we all play our part in helping conserve our water supply. From providing practical ways to save water while on holidays, to details about Barwon Water projects in the local area, the Summer Series is a great way to engage with the community.”
