Water talks to begin

Tracey Slatter

Barwon Water has launched community and customer engagement on its next five-year Pricing Plan.

More than 30 of the region’s top community, government, environment and business leaders met this week to help Barwon Water shape its next five-year promise to deliver services that support the community, environment and regional prosperity.

Barwon Water managing director Tracey Slatter said she was looking forward to the community collaboration.

“We value engaging with and hearing from our customers because we know that, while we can design solutions to the challenges we face on our own, we get better outcomes when we work in partnership with our customers and community,” she said.

Ms Slatter said the upcoming engagement will give all community members the chance to have a say on the four key outcomes that Barwon Water proposes to deliver:

1 Secure, sustainable water

2 Innovative and reliable services

3 Healthier environment

4 Affordability, trust and value

“We need our customers and community to help us find the balance between action and affordability in how we deliver these outcomes,” Ms Slatter said.
