The expanded Community Water Supplies Partnership (CWSP) program will now apply to our regional communities in the South West and the Great Southern.
The CWSP program supports projects that will increase water availability for emergency farmland and firefighting needs, to better prepare our regional communities for periods of low rainfall. It can also be used to supply non-potable water to public amenities, reducing the reliance on potable supplies where appropriate. Non-potable water supplies are those that have not been treated to meet drinking water standards.
Funding can be sought for proposed projects that will take advantage of local non-potable water sources for emergency farmland or firefighting and community use – noting funding support will depend on the nature and intent of the work.
