Save Water

8 tips on how to Save Water: 

1) Check for hidden water leaks with your water metre.

2) Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl of water instead of under running water.

3) When showering, turn the water off to lather up, and then turn it back on to rinse off.  Do the same when washing your hair. 

4) Place a bucket in the shower to catch excess water. Use this water, as well as the water used to clean your vegetables, to water your plants. 

5) To minimise evaporation water your garden in the mornings and the evenings. Another handy tip is to spread a layer of organic mulch around your plants. This helps retain moisture.

6) Encourage your employer to promote water conservation in the workplace. 

7) Avoid flushing your toilet unless you need to. For example, dispose of tissues, insects and other similar waste in the trash rather than the toilet. 

8) Place plastic bottles or float boosters in your toilet tank. This can save 40 litres or more of water a day.
