The weather is heating up, water shortages are being announced across the country. Check out the top 10 tips to save you money on your water usage this Summer:
• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.
• Keep a jug of water in the fridge so you don’t have to run your tap cold.
• Use a bowl for washing up / rinsing fruit and veg – then use this water for plants.
• Have a shower instead of a bath.
• Only use your dishwasher or washing machine when you have a full load (this will save money on your energy bills too.)
• Only fill the kettle with as much water as you need (this will save energy too.)
• Fix leaking taps and toilets.
• Use a watering can instead of a hose in the garden.
• If your garden needs watering, do so early morning or evening to reduce evaporation.
• Use a bucket and sponge instead of a hose to clean your car (or leave it for another week – it’s only going to get dusty!)
