Lifestyle choices, population growth and climate change are placing increasing demands on our water supplies. It’s important that we do not take this precious resource for granted and that we all use water wisely to ensure that there is enough for everyone in years to come. Water saving habits started now will become a way of life for the future.

Your household can really make a difference by following the water wise tips below:

Free Saving Water Tips
  • Fitting a Save-a-flush (a bag of harmless crystals) in your toilet cistern can save up to 1 litre per flush. That’s a saving of nearly 2,000 litres per person per year.*

  • Installing a Hippo (designed to work in toilet cisterns with a 9 litre flush or greater) could save up to 5,000 litres per person per year.* (Free water saving Hippo here...)

  • Have a refreshing shower instead of a bath - this can save over 300 litres of water a week. Be careful though - a power shower can use more water than a bath!

  • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Brushing your teeth with the tap running wastes 6 litres per minute.

  • Fix leaking taps. A dripping tap can waste up to 140 litres a week.

  • When buying a new dishwasher, choose one that is energy efficient as this saves on water and electricity. Machines with an 'A' rating are most economical.

  • Wait for a full load before using the washing machine - a full load uses less water than 2 half loads.

  • Cool water in the fridge means you don't have to run the tap for ages to get a cold drink.

  • Only fill the kettle with enough water for your needs, this will reduce your fuel bills too.

  • Lag your pipes and leave your heating on a low setting when you are out to avoid bursts in cold weather.

  • A water butt in your garden can collect rainwater that can be used used on your plants and lawn. To order a water butt, click here

  • If you have a water meter, check for leaks by turning off the water and taking two readings several minutes apart. If the readings are different there may be a leak.

    * If you find your toilet is not flushing properly, please remove your Save-a-flush/Hippo.
