The Water Efficiency Management Plan (WEMP) is a requirement designed to help large buildings monitor and manage their water usage to ensure conservation compliance.

What it costs you
There is no direct fee mentioned, but it requires the time and effort to perform an annual submission of your water usage data.
The catch to know
To successfully manage this plan, you must install sub-meters. These are secondary meters used to track exactly how much water is being used by specific activities within your building.
How to apply

- Install sub-meters to track water usage by specific activities.
- Prepare your water usage data for the required period.
