Water Saving Tips
Saving water is good for the environment and for the household budget. Here are some simple suggestions for how you can save water around the home.
- Check for, and repair, any leaking taps, pipes and hoses. A single leaking tap can waste more than 2000 litres a month.
- Turn taps off lightly and replace the washers as soon as they begin to leak.
- Install water-efficient taps and showerheads, or tap aerators.
- Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth.
- Choose appliances such as dishwashers and washing machines that use less water, and only wash when you have a full load.
- Put the plug in the sink when you wash your hands, rather than leaving the tap running.
- Keep a jug of cold water in the fridge, rather than running the tap till the water is cool.
- Fill the sink to wash fruit and vegies, rather than leaving the tap running.
- Put the plug in the sink when you rinse your dishes.
- Instead of boiling vegetables, cook them in a microwave or steamer.
