Understanding your Smart Account
The Smart Account goes beyond your typical utility bill. It helps households save water with practical advice and solutions.
Everyone in Melbourne now has a personal target of 155 litres per day - the Target 155 campaign. The Smart Account helps you compare your water saving efforts against this daily amount.
As of January 2009 you will see the Smart Account has changed. Instead of information on garden size, typical and efficient water use, the Smart Account now shows you how the average daily water use for each person in your household compares to the target of 155 litres per person per day.
Are you on target?
- The average daily water use for your household is found at the top of the Smart Account
- Go to the row with the number of people in your household*
- Look at the number of litres per person per day in the first column
- Compare the per person water use to the 155 litre daily target.
If your average daily water use is over 155 litres per person click here for ways to achieve the target.
*if there are 7 or more people in your household, calculate per person water use by dividing the household average daily water use by the number of people.
