We can provide advice on measures to reduce your use of water in both the home and garden.
Details
Here are some practical tips to help save water:
In the home
- replace worn washers to stop dripping taps
- only use washing machines and dishwashers when full
- take a shower instead of a bath
- turn off the tap when brushing your teeth
- wash vegetables in a bowl rather than under a running tap
In the garden
- use mulches such as wood chip, bark or gravel to help prevent evaporation; this will also prevent weed growth
- consider planting drought-tolerant flowers and shrubs such as thyme, evening primrose, lavender and buddleia
- consider purchasing a water butt to collect rain water
