SWEP (Schools Water Efficiency Program)

With the aim of reducing water leakage and improving water efficiency in the school, St Joseph’s College has recently become involved with the SWEP (Schools Water Efficiency Program). This program involves utilising data logging devices to track ongoing water use.  In addition, their program now extends to an electricity pilot program as well. To date we have installed four water data loggers; three at Maim Campus and  one at Westcourt. The school is notified when “spikes” are registered for water use across a particular meter.

For further information about the SWEP program, visit their website at;
