SWEP is a free Victorian Government initiative that monitors school water use and alerts schools when there is a leak.
A digital data logger tracks the school’s water use 24/7. Leak alerts are sent when unusually high use is detected, and schools can check their data anytime through the SWEP portal.
Students can learn about water efficiency with SWEP’s curriculum-aligned primary and secondary worksheets and activity guides.
Smart data and automatic alerts remove the guesswork from asset management, saving schools time and effort. On average SWEP schools save $1,500 per year on water bills by finding and fixing leaks early.
SWEP is delivered by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, in partnership with the Department of Education.
SWEP never takes a break – 24/7 monitoring even during school holidays.
A SWEP leak alert during school holidays led to the discovery of an underground leak, saving the school over $5,700 in avoided water bill costs.
