Water conservation

It is easy to reduce a household's water consumption up to 50% by:

fix any leaks straight away
installing water efficient fixtures, appliances and tap ware like:
- flow restrictors 6-9 litres per minute to all tap ware/outlets discharging to the on-site sewerage facility (OSF)
- dual flush toilets
- water efficient washing machine and dishwasher.
changing water use habits and behaviours:
- reduce showers to 3 minutes
- use the toilet half flush button when appropriate
- turn off the tap running while cleaning teeth, shaving, peeling vegetables
- fill the washing machine and dishwasher before use.
re-use and co-use water where possible:
- bathe small children together
- re-use laundry hand washing water on the garden
- catch shower water in a bucket while the shower warms up, and use it in the garden.
