Always look for appliances rated 3 stars or higher (for rating info visit www.waterrating.gov.au).
Flow controlled regulators and aerators on taps will cut flow by up to 50%.
Ensure sink plugs throughout your house don't leak.
Insulate hot water pipes to reduce warm-up time and save water and electricity.
If you have high water pressure, a plumber can install a pressure reduction valve at your property boundary.
