Adopting water-saving habits not only preserves this precious resource but also contributes to lower utility bills and a more sustainable environment. By incorporating simple practices you can make a meaningful impact on water conservation while enjoying economic benefits. Here are some tips for water-wise habits you can adopt in your home:

• Take shorter showers
• Turn the taps off while brushing your teeth
• If washing up, only use enough water for the dishes you have
• Scrape dishes before putting them in the dishwasher (instead of rinsing)
• Only wash full loads (especially if your washing machine is an older model)
• Be vigilant about fixing leaks
• Change watering times to morning or early evening, to minimise the amount of water that is evaporated
• Keep an eye on your water meter and stay aware of your usage, especially during the dry season
• Use air blowers to sweep the driveway, instead of a hose
• Keep your pool or spa covered in the dry season to minimise the amount of water that is evaporated
