Water is our most precious resource and there are a number of ways you can save water around your home:

• Use water wise plants in the garden – they need less water
• Fit flow regulators to kitchen and bathroom taps and shower heads
• Read your water meters to help detect leaks in your water pipes
• Follow the watering roster
• When buying a new washing machine, always look for the highest energy and water efficient star rating
• Always mulch garden beds to conserve water and reduce evaporation
• Use a shower timer to reduce time spent in the shower
• Use a pool cover to stop water evaporation
