Water Wise
It isn’t just the water companies that need to use water wisely.
There are a number of simple measures that we can all do to help conserve
this natural resource.
• Wash vegetables and fruit in a bowl of water rather than under
a running tap - use this water to water plants in the home or garden.
•
Keep a jug of drinking water in the fridge instead of running the tap cold.
•
Try to wait for a full load of washing before using the washing machine/dishwasher.
•
Place a ‘hippo’ in your toilet cistern.
•
Take a 5 minute shower instead of a bath - although a power shower
will use more than a bath even in 5 minutes so be wary.
