- Don’t run the tap when brushing your teeth
- Get dripping taps sorted
- Low flow shower heads reduce the amount of water flowing through the shower to reduce the energy consumption as well as water
- Make sure washing machines or dish washers are full before putting them on
- Rather than waiting for the tap to run cold, fill up a large bottle/jug/pitcher and stick it in the fridge
- Take shorter showers
