Water efficiency requirements now apply to a range of town water uses by business. These requirements are either provisions of the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 or part of the Toowoomba Regional Council water restriction arrangements.
- All non-residential customers using 10ML/yr or greater are required to submit a Water Efficiency Management Plan (WEMP) to council for approval and report annually on its implementation.
- All non-residential premises using between 1 and 10 megalitres per year are required to meet water efficient standards for tapware, showers, toilets, urinals, and trigger sprays in commercial kitchens. Some of these businesses will need to submit a Water Conservation Plan (WCP) including nurseries, turf farms, market gardens, public swimming pools and all premises with cooling towers.
- Some helpful hints can be found on Water in the Workplace (opens in new window).
