Through an interactive, walk-through experience, visitors can explore the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and garden to discover simple water-saving ideas and practical tips they can put into action.
National Water Week is an opportunity for people to learn about the importance of water and the role we all play in conserving it.
The Blue House has been designed to explore practical ways to save water and contribute to water security.
The average Victorian uses 169 litres of water each day. Depending on household size, that can add up to between 330 and 680 litres of water daily.
GVW general manager customers and growth Jonno Bellette said water security was an important challenge facing the region.
“The Blue House has been designed to bring water saving ideas to life,” he said.
“Visitors can explore every room, pick up practical tips and discover simple changes that can make a real difference. Every litre of water saved contributes to more water for the future of our region.
“The small, everyday decisions we make can have the biggest impact, and we want people to leave feeling inspired and confident about the steps they can take.”
The free, family-friendly Blue House will feature fun activities, educational displays, guest speakers and live demonstrations throughout the week.
GVW staff will also be available to answer questions about water use, water efficiency, programs and services, as well as assist customers who may have questions about their water bills.
The Blue House will be open to the public from Monday, October 19 to Saturday, October 24 at 18-20 Fraser St, Shepparton.
Further details, including opening hours and a program of activities, will be released closer to the event.
