Preparing a Business Water Management Action Plan (WaterMAP)

On July, 24, 2007, the Victorian Government announced non-residential water users who use10 megalitres of potable water or more, at any one site, will be required to develop and submit a Water Management Action Plan (waterMAP) to their water corporation.

The aim of a Water Management Action Plan (waterMAP) is to help businesses and other non-residential customers reduce water use and save on water and sewerage costs.

WaterMAP customers are required to:

1. Assess their current water use
2. Identify inefficiencies and opportunities for water savings
3. Prepare and submit an action plan to implement water conservation and efficiency actions
4. Report annually on implementation of water conservation and efficiency actions.
