Why visiting us at Floriade is a must-do this year!

Floriade is back, and you know what that means – Canberra’s about to be bursting with colour! The annual flower festival is just around the corner, and we're excited to be a part of it once again. As we celebrate the beauty of spring, we’re also dedicated to sparking conversations about water and how to keep your home – and our entire community – flowing smoothly.

Why visit us at Floriade? 
Our partnership with Floriade is rooted in our commitment to bringing the community together and promoting sustainable practices. In previous years, we’ve proudly supported Floriade: Reimagined by watering community gardens, making sure those stunning spring tulips were in full bloom for everyone to enjoy.  

But Floriade is not only a feast for the eyes; it’s also an opportunity to learn and engage with our team about our work in the catchments, how you can play a role in keeping our pipes flowing and what small tips and tricks will help you save water. That’s why our presence at this event remains strong, and we’d love to see you there! 

When you visit our stand, you’ll get a chance to dive into all things water. We’re here to talk about what goes on behind the scenes of Canberra’s water system and why your role in keeping it healthy is so crucial. 

But it’s not a lecture. We’ve got plenty of fun lined up: 

🎡 Spin the prize wheel and win some awesome goodies. Extra spins for those who answer questions correctly!
🎮 Step into our VR world and have a look at what happens in our sludge holding tank! Trust us, you’ll think twice about what you send down the toilet. 
💩 Check out our Free the Poo game! Run, jump and slide your way through Canberra’s sewer system. We need your help to keep our pipes healthy!

Why it matters 
We’re all about keeping things flowing smoothly, both in your home and across Canberra.  Our Free the Poo campaign is a vital part of this mission. Did you know that only three things belong in your toilet? That’s right – just the 3 P’s: pee, poo and toilet paper. Everything else? Bin it! Your pipes (and our team) will thank you. By sticking to the 3 P’s, you’re helping us protect the environment, prevent blockages and keep Canberra’s water system running efficiently. 

So, while you’re taking in the breathtaking sights and scents of Floriade, don’t forget to swing by our stand. We’ll be there for two weekends: 14-15 September and 21-22 September, from 9.30am to 5.30pm. 

We can’t wait to see you there!
