Hunter Water is pouring over $120,000 into the community through the latest round of its Love Water Grants program. 

In the last seven years, Love Water Grants has become the organisation's flagship program, supporting over 70 community groups.

Hunter Water Managing Director Darren Cleary says the grants program is open to all Lower Hunter community groups, small businesses and organisations.

“We know cost-of-living pressures impact many people in our community. As a major service provider in the region, we have a vital role to play in supporting the community through these challenging times,” he said.

Organisations are encouraged to apply for a one-off grant of up to $10,000 to support initiatives that promote water conservation and sustainability and enhance liveability and innovation in our community.

“We're hoping to see innovative applications that showcase different ideas on how to achieve water conservation goals. Whether that’s through community garden projects, irrigation systems or water-efficient appliances,” Cleary says. 

“We know how much our community loves and values water. A Love Water Grant project is an opportunity to conserve our most precious resource for future generations.”
