In The Kitchen

- Use an aerator and/or a water flow-reducer attachment on your tap to reduce your water usage
- Always turn taps off tightly so they do not drip.
- Promptly repair any leaks in and around your taps. (One leak can waste several thousand litres of water per year.)
- When hand-washing dishes, never run water continuously. Wash dishes in a partially filled sink and then rinse them using the spray attachment on your tap
- If you have an electric dishwasher, use it only to wash full loads, and use the shortest cycle possible. Many dishwashers have a conserver/water-miser cycle
- When cleaning fruit and vegetables, never do so under a continuously running tap. Wash them in a partially filled sink and then rinse them quickly under the tap.
- When boiling vegetables, save water by using just enough to cover them and use a tightly fitting lid.

- Keep a bottle of drinking water in your fridge instead of running your tap until the water gets cool each time you want some water. Do not forget to rinse the container and renew the water every two to three days.
