Water Saving Measures
By following a number of water
saving measures, which require little time and money to implement, not just
during drought conditions but year-round, significant amounts of water can be
saved.
- Check
the plumbing installation for leaks.
- Check
taps for drips and make repairs promptly.
- Install
plastic water bags in the toilet flush tanks.
- Take a
shower instead of a bath and avoid having to run the water
until it’s hot. Turn off shower water while you apply soap
to body.
-
Encourage and advise children not to mess around with water
in the bath, garden or anywhere else.
- Turn
off water while you shave and/or brush teeth.
- Wash
only full loads in the washing and dish washing machines.
- Water
the garden with a watering can early in the morning or in
the evening when evaporation is limited.
- Wash
the car with a sponge and a bucket, instead of a hosepipe,
which is prohibited by Law.
- Use a
broom, not a hose, to clean verandas and pavements. The use
of a hosepipe is prohibited by Law.
