The Tweed will need an additional water supply by 2026 to meet forecast demand. While Council has a project to raise the wall of Clarrie Hall Dam by 2026 to secure a water supply to 2046, it’s equally important to save water and make our resources last as long as possible.
Achieving Target 160L (160 litres per person a day) is everyone’s responsibility.
To date, Tweed residents have reduced water consumption by 22 per cent, from 230L a day in 2003 to 179L a day in 2013 under Council’s Target 180L campaign.
Since then, consumption has started to rise again prompting Council to renew its efforts through a Target 170L campaign and now Target 160L campaign.
160L a day is achievable, read our Water Saving Tips.
