Water is Life Youth Forum

During October our team had the opportunity to work with our Community Education team to bring to life Sydney Water’s very first Water is life Youth Forum - an initiative to help build bridges in water literacy gaps and inspire the next generation.

Hosted by Shane Jacobson, the event promoted National Water Week with 100 students in Years 9-12 from across Greater Sydney. The project team talked about the proposed project to introduce Purified Recycled Water (PRW) and gave students the opportunity to understand the ways Sydney Water is working to secure the water supply they will inherit. Students were incredibly engaged leading various through provoking conversations and completing a survey indicating their sentiment towards PRW. With a total of 62% in support of PRW.
