Conservation & Water Saving Tips

Make use of rainwater tanks to harvest rainwater from your gutters to use in the garden.

Collect the water you use to rinse veggies and fruit in the sink and use it to water house plants.

Put house plants outside when it rains.

Repair any leaking plumbing (taps, toilets etc.). Check all plumbing for leaks frequently. Check your water meter is not turning when all plumbing items are off. If it is you have a leak.

Install water saving shower heads and aerators to mixers and taps.

Dishwashers use less water than washing by hand. When shopping for new dishwasher, check their water consumption.

Dual flush toilets, which use half flush for liquid waste and full, flush for solid waste.

Use your shower more and keep showers under 5 minutes.

Insulate your hot water pipes and geyser.
