Water Efficiency Management Plans

Water Efficiency Management Plans (WEMPs) assist businesses to deliver long-term efficiencies while minimising risks to economic production and employment.

This WEMP planning process includes three key activities for water users:

• accounting for water use
• identifying water saving measures
• preparing a plan to implement the identified measures.

WEMPs aim to help businesses better manage water use, save on water costs, improve efficiency and reduce business water consumption. Businesses are required to report annually to their service provider on WEMP activities.

Guidelines have been developed to assist businesses, assessors and service providers complete the plans.
