Things to do at home

• When washing clothes make sure you have a full load and use the economy setting. Always buy an energy efficient machine

• When boiling the kettle, make sure you only put in as much water as you need

• Don’t prepare vegetables under a running tap, fill a bowl instead.

• Also, don’t wash dishes under a running tap, use a bowl and another bowl to rinse them off in.

• Install a shower! It’ll use less water than a bath but be aware of “Power Showers”. They normally use more water than a bath.

•  Never leave the tap running when you brush your teeth. Use a glass instead

• Use the plug!

• Use dish water on your garden. This type of water is good for fending off aphids

• When buying a new bathroom suite, make sure your toilet is duel-flush and that your bath is not over-sized

• Lawns are great survivors. Even when they look dead, they’ll spring back with the first heavy rain, so try to avoid watering them whenever possible.

• Install a water saving device if you have a large cistern

• Avoid watering the garden with a hose. If you must water, then use a watering can

• Avoid watering the garden in the midday sun when the water will evaporate. Mornings and evenings are best.

• Avoid washing your car with a hose or pressure pump. Use a bucket instead

• Fit insulation to you pipes. If these freeze and burst in winter you’ll waste a lot of water.

• Water less frequently, but deeply and thoroughly. This will also help plants to develop healthy, deep root systems

• Always reports water leaks to your water company. Contact details are below.
