How you can target 60
Right now, everyone in Perth is being asked to take 60 litres - or around 10% - off their daily water use.
While we had some decent rainfall this winter it's still really important to maintain our water saving efforts, as every litre we save now is a litre banked for the future, and will reduce the amount we need from our underground water sources and dams.
Households are the biggest users of scheme water - using 71%, and therefore offer the greatest potential to save water. Here you will find many ways to save water in in your home and help us target 60 this summer.
