Make Every Drop Count encourages water conservation and mindful water use. It is an initiative of Greater Western Water, Melbourne Water, South East Water and Yarra Valley Water.
We already have permanent water saving rules in place – like using a trigger nozzle on your hose when watering gardens or washing cars – but we can all do more.
In 2023-24, Melburnians used an average of 163 litres of water per person, per day. Target 150 encourages everyone to limit their water use to reach a daily average of 150 litres per person, per day.
The water in your glass could be the same water that travelled on a Roman aqueduct in 312BCE.
