2010 winner Overall Award for Excellence

The savewater! awards® are now in their ninth year, and have emerged as Australia’s leading awards for water sustainability. These prestigious awards recognise and reward excellence in water conservation and efficiency by business, government, schools, local communities, and individuals.

Winning a savewater! award® has helped many individuals and organisations in their efforts to spread the water conservation message, and assist other members of the community to use water more efficiently. Additionally, some companies have been provided with business and funding opportunities as a result.

New in 2011

The savewater!® Alliance is honoured to be hosting the 2011 Prime Minister’s Water Wise Award for the Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities.

The Prime Minister’s Water Wise Award is the nation’s premier award recognising water efficiency excellence by commercial and industrial water users.

Also, savewater!® is pleased to announce that it will open its Water Utilities category internationally for the first time. This award acknowledges achievement and a strong ongoing commitment by a water utility at local, regional, state or national level, to reducing its own or the community’s water use.
