Save water around the home

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
