Below are some easy water saving tips you can use right now to help conserve water.

• Only wash clothes when you have a full load. A washing machine uses about 150 litres of water per wash
• Use the dishwasher for full loads only. Each load uses 40 to 80 litres of water
• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth
• Put the plug in the sink when washing vegetables and don’t leave the tap running
• Put a half-full soft drink bottle in your toilet cistern to reduce the quantity of water you flush
• Flush the toilet less often
• Use less water in the bath. A bath can use up to 80 litres of water
• Take shorter showers. A shower uses about 8 litres of water a minute
• Keep a bottle of drinking water in the fridge to avoid running more water than you need for a glass of water.
