Community and Business Education

Ipswich Water is strongly committed to positive environmental practices and water conservation. At the heart of the drought, climate change, and the need for a sustainable lifestyle lay messages of conservation.

Our conservation communications initiative is about changing business, industry and community attitudes about the way we all relate to water in our daily lives. This initiative is aimed at educating water users about the importance of sustainable lifestyles and business practice.
