By changing just one way in which you use water in your home and garden, you could play your part in helping the environment. Here are some handy tips that may help you save water.
- Cutting out one load of washing per week and you could save over 5,000 litres of water every year.
- Fit a flush saver device, which you can get free from Yorkshire Water, the simple device sits at the bottom of your toilet cistern
and saves around one litre of water every time you flush.
- Turning the tap off whilst brushing your teeth, this can save up to 10 litres of water every time you brush.
- Save water by opting for a shower instead of a bath, 15,000 litres of water could be saved.
- Make sure every time you fill your washing machine or dishwasher it is fully loaded, two half loads will use
more water than one full load.
- Have you ever thought about using a water butt? A single water butt can collect around 5,000 litres of water
which can be used in your garden or to wash your car.
- Water your garden with a watering can not a hose pipe.
