Programs and events
ACTEW Corporation sponsors and participates in many events throughout the year, working with and educating residents and businesses on water related matters.
Community Presentations
Do you want to find out more about water restrictions, water saving and what ACTEW is doing to secure the ACT’s water supply?
ACTEW regularly holds free talks with community groups around the region. We can tailor presentations to your interests, be it the current water situation and water restrictions, water conservation methods and tips, ACTEW’s water security projects or we can run specialised Waterwise Gardening Workshops for your group.
Presentations can be organised to be held at your venue and can be organised to cater around your time schedule and needs.
To organise an ACTEW representative to attend your next community meeting, call or email ACTEW’s Water Conservation Office.
Free gardening workshops
Are you looking to improve your garden and want to know how to do so using less water?
Then come to a FREE Waterwise Garden Workshop and learn about efficient garden watering systems and methods, as well as the benefits of mulching, using drought tolerant plants and improving your soil.

ACTEW in the Community
ACTEW often holds displays at local community events throughout the region, ranging from community festivals through to home shows, the Royal Canberra Show, Floriade and the Australian Science Festival.
At these events ACTEW offers updates on our water security projects as well as information about current Stage 2 Water Restrictions and ways to save water in and around your home.
So next time you are at a community event look out for ACTEW’s display or call the Water Conservation Office for details of where we will be.
