Simple water-saving habits

Most of us only need to save another 2 litres of water to get down to our target of 155 litres a day. That’s easy to achieve by making small changes to our everyday habits. Why not try:

taking a minute off your shower

brushing your teeth with the tap off

going easy with the hose

fixing any leaks

scraping plates instead of rinsing them, before putting them in the dishwasher

placing a plug or container in the sink when preparing vegetables, washing fruit or washing dishes

using an air-blower or broom to sweep the driveway, instead of a hose.

Explanation:

Hand-held hoses can only be used if fitted with a trigger nozzle and free from leaks.

Hand-held hoses, buckets or watering cans can be used at any time to water household and commercial gardens and lawns, as well as public gardens, lawns and playing spaces.

Watering systems can only be used between 6pm and 10am, and must be fitted with a rain or soil moisture sensor if being used to water public gardens, lawns and playing spaces.

Water cannot be used to clean hard surfaces, including driveways, paths, concrete, tiles and timber decking.

There are a few exceptions, in which case a high-pressure water cleaning device or hand-held hose or bucket must be used:

after emergencies like accidents, fires, or health and safety hazards

where surfaces have been stained – and then only once a season

during construction or renovations.

Water cannot be used in a fountain or water feature, unless it is recirculating the water.
