Using less water isn’t just better for the environment, it saves you money on water and energy bills too.

How to use less water at home

  • Behavioural shifts: Embrace mindful habits like turning off taps while brushing teeth, fixing leaks promptly, and choosing water-efficient appliances.
  • Efficient fixtures: Install water-saving fixtures like low-flow taps, showerheads, and toilets. Often this will reduce your water usage without you even noticing the difference. Don’t forget taps in the laundry and kitchen as well as the bathroom.
  • Outdoor conservation: Use smart irrigation systems in your garden and consider drought-resistant landscaping, which often makes your garden easier to maintain too.
