Water Saving Tips

Here are some tips on how you can save water :

• Install a low-flow shower head and tap aerators on all taps.
• Reduce the time spent having a shower
• Repair leaking taps and pipes
• Wash your vehicle using a bucket of water
• Flush toilets only when necessary.
• Install a multi-flush or dual-flush mechanism in the toilet. A multi-flush device allows the user to choose exactly how much water goes to waste when pressing the handle. A dual-flush device has a short flush button for liquids and a longer flush button for solids.
• Plant water-wise indigenous plants.
• Water gardens only in early morning or the evening and only when necessary.
• Install garden drip irrigation on flower beds and sprayers on lawns.
• Collect rainwater for re-using on the garden or washing the car.
• Use a broom instead of a hosepipe when cleaning driveways or patios.
• Insulate hot water pipes so that not too much water is wasted when waiting for water to get hot.
• Cover your swimming pool to reduce water evaporation.
