Water saving tips

To help save water:

• take shorter showers
• take a shower instead of a bath
• turn off the tap when brushing your teeth
• avoid watering lawns wherever possible – even when they look dry and brown, they’ll spring back with the first heavy rain
• make sure your washing machine is full – don’t put on a half load
• turn off the tap while washing your hands or shaving
• fix leaking taps  
• keep a jug of water in the fridge so there’s no need to run the water until it gets cold
• use a bowl for washing vegetables  
• fill the kettle with only as much water as you need
