Tips to save water
[/text_output][icon_list][icon_list_item type=”adjust” id=”” class=”” style=””]
-
Turn off the taps
Leaving a tap running while brushing teeth uses 6 litres of water a minute. And by fixing a dripping tap you can save over 60 litres of water a week.
-
Boil what you need
Only boil as many cups of water as you need for your tea round – you’ll be saving money and energy.
-
Shower with less
It’s easy to linger in the shower when you’re sleepy in the morning – four-minute timers can help. And switching to an efficient shower head will allow you to lather up in less water.
-
Save up your dirty clothes
Washing a full machine load of clothes uses less water and energy than two half-loads. This means lower bills as well.
-
Steam your veggies
As well as using less water than boiling, steaming retains more nutrients. If you do boil, try adding the water used as a tasty stock to soups. Or let it cool and use it to water house or garden plants.
-
Catch rainwater
You can cut water use by 33% by watering plants manually instead of using automatic sprinklers.
