Council rolls out water awareness

Gosford Council is currently rolling out the second stage of its "intensive community awareness campaign" about water saving information, targeting "students and commuters" at Woy Woy train station.

Council stated that over the next few weeks, staff would be targeting commuters and high school students at Gosford and Woy Woy train stations with water saving information including a four minute shower timer and various fact sheets.

Stage two also incorporates additional mail outs to organisations across the local government area.

Last year saw over 300 clubs, restaurants and accommodation centres take delivery of posters, stickers and information on how to save water and the Level 4 water restrictions.

"Our community awareness campaign has been received with enthusiasm off many businesses and residents, and it is great to see so many organisations wanting to take part," Mayor Cr Laurie Maher said.

"As you walk the main street of Gosford and visit many clubs and restaurants within the Gosford area, people will see posters displaying the message 'visit and stay, don't waste it away' and 'we all need it, don't waste it'."
