Coliban Water is drawing on this year’s National Water Week (16-22 October) theme, United by Water, to encourage our customers to reflect on personal water stories and celebrate the important role that water plays in connecting us all.
Executive General Manager Customer and Stakeholder Experience Lauren McLean said water touches all our lives and brings us together in so many ways.
“Water drives economic growth, supports healthy ecosystems and is essential for life,” she said.
The organisation has been encouraging customers to send in a photo with their own water story for the chance to win a $200 credit off their Coliban Water account.
“Perhaps it was catching your first Murray Cod, long summers spent by Lake Eppalock with friends, or the simple joy of running through the humble backyard sprinkler with siblings—water is deeply ingrained in so many of our memories,” Ms McLean said.
To commemorate National Water Week, Coliban Water will be popping up around our region to celebrate all things water. We’ll be making a splash with a fantastic event at the Bendigo Library, following several events already held at Kyneton and Echuca.
Join us on Saturday 21 October for a celebration of National Water Week at the Bendigo Library.
“We’ve aimed to create something for everyone at this Bendigo event, including a Wonderful Water story time, games and activities for kids, information on the River Detectives and Water Watchers program with the North Central Catchment Management Authority (NCCMA) and lots more,” Ms McLean said.
National Water Week events are being held across Australia, such as Water Night, an annual event supporting stronger action on climate change and water awareness.
“On Water Night we ask individuals and households to turn off all non-essential taps from 5-10pm with the aim to increase water awareness and leading to long term behavioural change.
“Participation in Water Night has been shown to increase water literacy, helping people value tap water more and in turn use it wisely, why not get your family or school involved?” she said.
Look out for more details of events and competitions for National Water Week.
