As the program only commenced in April 2013, it is too soon to measure
savings. Generally, program savings are measured one year post-
installation.
(e)
The program aims to swap 1 000 inefficient products for water efficient versions by
December 2013. If this is achieved, approximately 30,000 kilolitres of water will be
saved annually after the first year.
