Water Saving Tips
This guide offers practical tips to help you make your home more water-efficient & keep your utility bills bill-friendly. Small changes in how you use water can lead to big savings!
Shower Smarter, Not Longer
A typical 5-minute shower uses significantly less water and energy than a full bath, saving you money on both water and heating bills.
Ask Your Landlord About Water-Saving Devices
Low-flow or aerated showerheads and toilet cistern displacement devices can significantly reduce water use. These devices save thousands of litres per year.
Turn Off the Tap
Leaving the tap running while brushing can waste around 6–9 litres of water per minute. Simply turning it off while you brush is an easy way to save water every day.
Make your cuppa more energy-efficient.
Fill cold water in your mug, then tip it into the kettle. You'll only boil what's needed, cutting down on wasted power.
Fix leaky taps
A dripping tap can waste thousands of litres of water annually. Make sure taps are fully turned off and replace washers promptly if they start to drip.
Full loads only
Wait until your washing machine and dishwasher are full before running them. Running half-empty cycles wastes water and energy.
Make every oven use count
Cook larger batches for future meals or share the energy by cooking multiple dishes together.
Simple daily habits add up
Saving water isn't just about big changes; it's about consistency. Being mindful of your water use every day helps protect resources & keeps your bills in check.
