With 134 freshwater lakes surrounding the Peterborough Region, water connects us all. GreenUP’s dynamic Water Wise programs support and celebrate this connection by bridging a number of water-related concerns for our region with positive actions for residents, decision-makers, and neighbourhoods.

GreenUP’s Water Wise team currently offers programming focused on building awareness, landscaping, and promoting water conservation and storm water mitigation. Learn more by visiting greenup.on.ca/water

Program History

GreenUP’s Water Wise programs began in 2015 with a pilot of what is now the Peterborough Utilities Water Wise Landscape Recognition Program. This landscape recognition program was modelled after the City of Brantford’s Waterwise Landscape Recognition Program. The program was made possible with funding from the Peterborough Utilities Group and offered to customers of Peterborough Utilities.
