Water Saving tips

 


IN YOUR KITCHEN


  • Fill the sink/bucket with water when washing dishes
  • Store drinking water in containers than drinking straight from the tap
  • Defrost frozen food in a dish rather than under running water
  • Save your sink from blockages

IN THE BATHROOM


  • Shower instead of a bath
  • Toilets, flush only when necessary
  • Avoid leaving taps running with water, close them during intervals

AROUND YOUR HOME/COMMUNITY


  • Repair leakages ie, taps, cisterns, geysers, pipes,etc
  • Water the garden when it is cool, morning or early evening
  • Use drip irrigation, ie water the plant/lawn only using a bucket
  • Use a drum or a basin to store water
  • Repair leaking taps
  • Don’t over water your lawn
  • Wash your car using a bucket instead of a hosepipe
  • Teach your children the importance of water conservation
  • Safeguard and protect all water installations from vandalism and thefts, this reduces water loses along the network which denies water to someone somewhere.
