WATER-EFFICIENT BUILDINGS (WEB) PROGRAMME |

The Water Efficient Buildings Programme is a water conservation initiative. It offers cost-effective solutions and guidelines for non-domestic customers to lower their water consumption and operating costs.
The programme covers:
- Commercial buildings
- Industrial buildings
- Factories
- Educational institutions
- Shopping complexes/centres
- Hotels
- Food courts
- Coffee shops
- Shop houses
Non-domestic customers can transform their premises into Water Efficient Buildings simply by applying the 3Rs (Reviewing, Reducing and Repairing) strategy of water conservation in their management and use of water.
