HOW TO SAVE WATER
- Don't flush the toilet every time you use it - as the saying goes: "If it's yellow let it mellow; if it's brown flush it down".
- Install a dual-flush toilet - then if necessary you can use short flushs for a pee and a longer flush for the rest.
- Put a suitable container in your toilet cistern - this could be a brick or plastic container or so-called hippo and it will restrict the amount of water used with each flush.
- Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth - a running tap uses more water than necessary.
- Take a shower instead of a bath - a conventional shower (as opposed to a power shower) uses around two-thirds less water than a bath.
- Don't use more water than you need to boil the kettle - if you're only making one or two cups of tea/coffee, you simply don't need to fill the kettle.
- Keep a jug of water in the fridge - then, when you want really cold water, you don't have to run the tap to get it.
- Don't run taps to rinse washing up - again this uses more water than you need for the task.
- Use cold, waste water to wash out jars for recycling - it does the job just as well.
