Water Night is an annual event designed to raise awareness of our water supply and why it's so important that we use it wisely to save it for future generations. 

Similar to Earth Hour, Water Night asks you to turn off all non-essential taps between 5pm and 10pm on Thursday 24 October (during National Water Week) to raise awareness of just how often we reach for our taps every day.

We've partnered with the Water Conservancy to bring Water Night to our region. This year, the theme is 'Tap off, tune in'  - tap off auto-pilot water use to help save water and energy, as part of tuning in to how climate change impacts Australia's water supply.

Why should I sign up?

Sign up and you'll go in the draw to win a range of prizes, including a dishwasher, wireless earphones, a smartwatch and more.
