Tauranga City Council, NZ "Save our Pipes from Wipes"
Tauranga City Council partnered with local communications agency Wave to address the issue of resident flushing wet wipes which damages wastewater infrastructure and causes sewer overflows. The "Save our Pipes from Wipes" public awareness campaign was designed to inspire residents to change their behavior without feeling ashamed. The campaign's mascot was an elephant representing that the amount of wipes extracted from the Council's wastewater pipes each week equals the size of a small elephant.
