Sensible water use

  • When you have a water meter you will want to use water wisely so that you are not paying for more than you need.
  • It's easy to reduce your consumption - not by going without, but by reducing the amount that you waste.
  • A tap that drips at the rate of two drops per second will lose 26 litres of water a day, that's almost enough for a shower.
  • A shower uses around 30 litres - which is a third of the water it takes to fill your bath.
  • Garden sprinklers can get through as much water in an hour as a family would use in a day.
  • Wait till you have a full load before using your washing machine - a normal wash cycle uses 100 litres.
  • Fit a 'save-a-flush' into your toilet cistern. It will reduce the amount of water you need to flush the loo.
  • If possible, install a water butt to collect rain water for use in the garden.
