Water conservation starts at home, where all our daily usage adds up to some unsightly amounts. You can reduce your water usage through helpful tips that you can use throughout your home.
- Turn off the taps tightly whilst not in use.
- Water your garden with used water.
- Make sure your home is leak-free. Fix all water leakages in your home.
- Maintain service lines after the meter to avoid water loss through leakage.
- Train children to turn off faucets tightly after use.
- Bath your pets outdoors in an area of your lawn that needs water.
- Avoid flushing the toilets unnecessarily.
- Check the toilet leaks by adding colouring to the Cistern.
- Don’t let the water run while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face/hands.
- Wash kitchen utensils, fruits and vegetables in a basin instead of running water from the tap.
- Do not use running water to defrost meat or other frozen foods.
- Soak pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean.
- Do not waste water waiting for it to get hot. Capture it for other uses.
