WEMP Recognition Scheme
To acknowledge the outstanding water saving efforts of our WEMP customers we have established our WEMP Recognition Scheme. The initiative aims to give businesses additional value for participating in the program, allowing them to market their achievements to customers and the community.
The first formal recognition event was held on Wednesday, 18 April 2012 with Water Minister Bill Marmion presenting awards to the Platinum and Gold award winners.
Eligible businesses received a recognition certificate in one of four categories: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, giving them the opportunity to proudly display their water saving results publicly.
