There’s plenty of practical tips online at www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/waterweek to help everyone save water. It won’t be all work and no play – there are events to celebrate Water Week across the MidCoast too. If you’ve wondered just how our water supply is managed and how water is treated, sign up for a free tour of Bootawa Water Treatment Plant on Wednesday 30 October. On the tour, you’ll follow the path water takes as it passes through our treatment system and is sent via mains to reach your taps. Our youngest residents will be getting the water-wise message too, as Whizzy the Waterdrop begins a tour of MidCoast Libraries, starting with Wingham on Monday 14 October, and concluding at Hallidays Point on 15 November. Whizzy brings stories, songs and lots of fun along with some water saving messages for pre-schoolers.
