Want to do more?

Reducing indoor water and non-essential use will help our water treatment plants, rivers and reservoirs catch up with demand.


Do You can help reduce your indoor water use by:

  • Using the dishwasher and washing machine only when required and with full loads

  • Turning off humidifiers, ice machines and automatic sprinkler systems

  • Scraping your plate clean rather than rinsing off food

  • Washing vegetables and fruit in a partially filled sink or pot and then rinse them quickly

  • Keeping a jug of drinking water in your fridge.

  • Don’t run the tap to get ice-cold water

  • Turning off the tap when brushing teeth or shaving

  • Limiting showers to three minutes or less and keeping baths shallow if you’re able to do so (e.g., people with mobility challenges).
