Top 5 smart water conservation
tips
1. Wait until you can do
full loads before you wash dishes or use the washing
machine.
2. Don’t run the water when brushing your
teeth.
3. 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.
4. For lawns, apply the ‘step test’
– if grass springs back after you walk on it, it doesn’t
need watering.
5. If your toilet has a dual flush button,
use the half
flush.
