Know Your Water. Save Every Drop.
Did you know the average household uses hundreds of litres of water every day? Small habits can make a big difference to both your water bill and our community's water supply.
Where does most household water go?
- Showers and bathrooms – around 40%
- Toilets – around 20%
- Laundry – around 15%
- Kitchen – around 10%
- Gardens and outdoor use – around 15% but can go up to 50% in summer, with gardens/lawns and topping up pools.
Simple ways to reduce your water use:
- Keep showers to four minutes.
- Fix dripping taps and leaking toilets promptly.
- Only run the washing machine and dishwasher with full loads.
- Water your garden early in the morning or later in the evening to reduce evaporation.
- Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
