water-wise tips

Melbourne Water offers the following water-wise tips to help you save water:

Turn the tap off while brushing your teeth
When shaving fill the basin instead of letting the water run
A quick shower uses less hot water than a full bath tub
Consider installing low flow, water efficient showerheads and taps in your home
Have a full load of washing before starting the washing machine
Instead of rinsing your vegetables under a running tap, half fill your sink with water
Turn off taps tightly but gently so they do not drip
Wash your car on the grass and water your garden at the same time
Never clean the driveway or footpath with a hose - use a rake or broom
Water in the cool of the morning or late evening
Water your garden less often but more thoroughly
Choose water-wise plants
