Following two months of intensive distribution in Gozo, the government has announced fresh collaboration to distribute further water-saving kits.

In a statement, the government said that thousands of Gozitan families have received their water conservation kit over the last seven weeks, as part of the national conservation campaign: ‘Water – Be the Change,’ which toured localities in Gozo.

More than 12,000 Gozitan families had the opportunity to collect the water-saving kits during June and July.

Now, the ‘Water – Be the Change’ campaign aims to extend the collaboration with the Ministry of Gozo by including the mobile distribution unit at events organised in Gozo.

This was announced by Ministers Clint Camilleri, Miriam Dalli and Parliamentary Secretary Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi.

The mobile unit spent the past seven weeks in 14 localities around Gozo distributing kits promoting more efficient use of water in homes. Residents received a voucher and a gift pack to be redeemed from the mobile unit.

Minister Miriam Dalli explained that, “the water-saving kits distributed throughout Malta and Gozo can lead to a reduction in water consumption of about 40,000 litres per year for a family of four members. By installing these tools and applying efficient water use practices, water consumption will be reduced, which will mean less impact on groundwater.”

Minister Clint Camilleri praised the work of the campaign. He said that it had raised more awareness among people about the importance of conserving water.

He thanked both Minister Miriam Dalli and Parliamentary Secretary Stefan Zrinzo Azzopardi for giving Gozitans the opportunity to benefit from such projects.

The campaign is run by the Energy and Water Agency within the Ministry for Energy, Enterprise and Sustainable Development and is co-financed by European funds under a cohesion project.

The campaign will continue with more distribution in Maltese localities.
