As part of the Think water, act water strategy for sustainable water resource management, the ACT Government commenced a program in February 2008 to distribute 10,000 greywater diversion hoses, free-of-charge to ACT residents. The hoses were supplied and distributed through Magnet Mart stores.

Due to the fantastic response from the community, all 10,000 hoses were given away in just under three months and the program has now closed.
