Price of Water Conservation Tips

Today is Friday September 03, 2010

Water is not free.  It may appear that way but it costs money to build and maintain the infrastructure that delivers both municipal water and bottled water.

Here are some things you can do to reduce your costs for municipal water:

• Take regular meter readings to monitor water consumption.

• Check for unexpected night time usage. Take a meter reading at the end of the day, and then first thing in the morning. If your meter has registered use when there should be none, you may have a leak.

• Fix dripping taps.

• Install Hippos into your toilets – this can save up to 3 litres per flush.

• Install minimizing controls e.g. push taps, sensor urinal controls, flow regulators / restrictors on outlets such as taps/ showers.

• Increase staff awareness with training, and also encourage them to report leaks
