Households off the drip

Narre Warren South MP Judith Graley said the new figures for water use in the third quarter of 2009 revealed that household water consumption decreasedby six per cent in Berwick and Narre Warren South, while Hampton Park’s household water consumption dropped by fiveper cent.

Melbourne has stayed below the target since it was introduced more than a year ago.
