Free plumbing services to increase water efficiency in the North West

Pilbara residents can now access free plumbing services as part of the Water Corporation’s 2021-22 Waterwise Towns program. The free plumbing service is available to residents in Onslow, Port Hedland, Karratha, Roebourne, Point Samson and Wickham. It will include a leak inspection and minor repairs, as well as upgrades to water-efficient fittings if required. Residents in Port Hedland, Karratha, Roebourne, Point Samson and Wickham can also take advantage of Water Corporation’s Showerhead Swap program, to swap up to two old showerheads with waterwise alternatives. In 2020-21 the Showerhead Swap program saw 219 North West households save 4.4 million litres of water. Pilbara MLA Kevin Michel said the program helped Pilbara households lower their household water bills and increase water efficiency in the North-West. Local offers are available until May 31, 2022.
