Water saving tips

Check for home for leaks, hidden water leaks can be wasting water without you even being aware of it.
A good way to check for leaks is, if your property is metered, then read your water meter and do not use any water for a couple of hours and go back to check that the meter reads exactly the same.
We're more likely to notice leaks indoors, but don't forget to check outdoor faucets, sprinklers and hoses for leaks. If it does not, there is a leak.
Turn off tap while cleaning your teeth, shaving or washing your face. You can waste up to 9 litres a minute by just letting the water pour down the sink.
Take a short shower rather than a bath could save you up to 400 litres a week. If you do have baths, just half fill them.
If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace the showerhead with a water-efficient model.
Bathe your young children together.
Wash your pets outdoors in an area of your lawn that needs water.
When running a bath, plug the tub before turning the water on, and then adjust the temperature as the tub fills up.
Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.
Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
Fix any dripping tap, you can waste 90 litres a week which will cost a lot more than what might just be the price of a new washer.
