Saving Water
How much are you using inside your home?
Here is a tool to estimate your current personal water use inside your home. It will also give you a rough idea where you might be able to save water each day.

Do you know how much water you really use?
Read your water meter now, and again at the same time of day exactly one week from now to calculate your average daily water usage.
Then see how it compares against the daily targets for this time of year.
How do you measure up?
Check the daily target for each level of water restrictions on the previous page. Remember that all restriction stages other than Stage 4 allow for use of water outside. So if you're close to your target with the water you use inside, you'll really have to limit your outside watering. But remember, although you can use the targets as a reference, you need to make sure that you still follow the water restrictions.
