Council’s General Manager Russ Pigg and Director of Shoalhaven Water Carmel Krogh recently took time out to pose for a photo with the famous Tapstar and to accept awards for Shoalhaven Water’s contribution on the education of water conservation in the Shoalhaven.
The colourful and flamboyant Tapstar and his offsider Dripette were eager to present the following awards to Council:

2010 Management Excellence Awards – Excellence in Service Delivery

Ms Krogh says “It is always great to be acknowledged for the work we do to educate our community and schools.
We take great pleasure in sharing information on how to care for our natural environment and we encourage everyone to become champions of Australian water Saving.”
There are many ways that everyone can help save this precious resource by taking small but effective steps in and around homes.
Buying water conserving appliances, taking shorter showers and using grey water all make a difference to water consumption.
Water conservation also means looking after the quality of our water.
This means not washing household chemicals down the drain, and disposing of paint and other harmful substances in the correct way.
