Don’t be a drip . . .

USE municipal drinking water only for essential washing, cooking and drinking purposes, and only use indoors;

Flush the toilet only when necessary;

Reduce showers to two minutes;

Collect your shower, bath and basin water and reuse it to flush your toilet, water the garden and wash your car;

Wait for a full load before running washing machines and dishwashers;

Use a cup instead of running taps in the bathroom or kitchen when brushing teeth, shaving, drinking, et cetera;

Defrost food in the fridge or naturally, rather than placing it under running water;

Ensure that toilet flush valves flush for no more than four seconds and urinals for no more than eight seconds; and

If your school, business or organisation has a swimming pool, fit a pool cover to prevent water loss through evaporation.
