Become a water saving champion!

The Living Water Smart team meet them everyday. Just normal, every day Darwin residents and businesses who are playing their part to save water. Some have saved thousands of dollars by fixing a water leak, others have adjusted their irrigation system to make sure their garden isn't being overwatered. And there are lots of small businesses and large organisations who are helping as well. Read about them here, and if you have a story to tell us about saving water please let us know!
