Water Saving Tips

  • Only use your dishwasher when it is fully loaded and use the economy setting.
  • Try to keep a bottle of drinking water in the fridge rather than running the tap until it's cold enough to drink.
  • Wipe rather than rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
  • Don't use running water to defrost your frozen food.
  • When washing up by hand, don't rinse dishes under running water. Use the second sink, or a bucket.
  • Soak pots and pans, don't scrape under running water.
  • Wash fruit and vegetables in a bowl rather than under running water.
  • Try composting instead of using garbage disposal units. Your garden will benefit and will use less water.
