Water Conservation Tips

There are many ways in which you can save water, benefiting our environment and also your pocket.

Collect rainwater to use on your plants and lawn, or to wash your car.

Save up to 125 litres of water by using a bucket instead of a hose when you wash your car.

Fix leaking taps – a dripping tap can waste more than 60 litres of water per week.

Don’t leave the tap running to clean dishes or vegetables, use a bowl of water instead.

Keep a jug of water in the fridge so there is no need to run the water until it gets cold.

Fully load your washing machine as a full load uses less water than two half-loads.

Have a refreshing shower instead of a bath. This can save over 150 litres of water per week. But be careful – a power shower can use more water than a bath!

A running tap can use six litres of water per minute so turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.

Fill the kettle with only as much water as you need.
