Water Wise – Use
of Town Water

No. 32,000 litre rain water tanks contribute approximately 30 – 35
% of the yearly total water quantity to irrigate the greens. The
remaining 65-70% is town water. In order to comply with water
use requirements, the Club:
-
Displays a sign that confirms our approved town water use
-
Has
a separate meter to record irrigation water usage.

Keeps a record of weekly water usage in a log book.
