10 GOLDEN RULES
  1. Don’t let water waste through dripping taps, leaking tanks and pipes or through faulty ball valves and overflow pipes.

  2. Don’t wash under a running tap. Put the plug in and fill the wash basin with only enough water to do the job.

  3. Use a mug of water for cleaning teeth. By running a tap you use four times more water than you need.

  4. Don’t use the toilet to flush away tissues, gum wrappers or any other small scraps. Every flush takes 9 liters (2 gallons) of water.

  5. A hose used for car washing uses about 225 litres (50 gallons) in half an hour. Use a bucket instead 9 liters (2 gallons).

  6. Don’t overfill kettles when boiling water.

  7. Where possible collect rain water to water the garden.

  8. Do washing up once daily. It saves water and time.

  9. Save dirty laundry until you have a full washing machine load.

  10. A family of two adults and a child uses an estimated 1000 litres (225 gallons) of water daily.



*(Become conscious of using water wisely and conserve water where possible)
