Water conservation tips
Wait
until you can do full loads before you wash dishes or use
the washing machine.
Don’t run the water when brushing
your teeth.
For cool drinking water, fill a jug and keep
it in the fridge.
Running water to cool it down can waste
10 litres a minute.
For lawns, apply the ‘step test’
– if grass springs back after you walk on it, it doesn’t
need watering.
Please do not water the garden in the heat
of the day; early morning or evening is better.
If your
toilet has a dual flush button, use the half flush.
Fix
any leaks or dripping taps.
Please do not fill swimming
pools.
Because of the Coromandel's rugged geography, our
water comes from a variety of natural sources, including
streams and bores.
These sources supply us not only with drinking water but water for fire fighting. Please conserve this precious resource.
