Moving to the use of bore water at the city’s sporting grounds, cemetery and Bicentennial Park has saved the equivalent of 66.6 megalitres of water.
Council is continuing its push in the sustainability sector, putting $50,000 towards further measures at its sites including, a move to tank water at the Flynn St depot, purchasing 500 Greenwell tree-watering systems and the installation of sensor taps at Ray Walsh House.
Deputy mayor Helen Tickle said it was a “terrific outcome” to see council continually improve in this area.
“It’s great to see Tamworth Regional Council leading by example,” she said at Tuesday’s meeting.
Councillor Mark Rodda said council should be encouraging developers to follow suit.
Mayor Col Murray said the population of Tamworth had doubled in the last 25 years, yet water usage hadn’t changed in that time.
