- By adding any colour you can check whether your flush tank is leaking. If the colour appears in the WC, that is the proof that the leak is present. Once you repair the leak you can save around 600 gallons of water a month.
- Make sure you turn off the water tap while brushing your teeth. A family of four can save 200 gallons of water every week taking this caution.
- Be sure to turn off the tap while applying soap or shampoo during a bath. You can save a lot of water and enjoy your bath at the same time using less water, which makes more lather.
- Try not to throw those used toilet papers in the flush as it uses plenty of water and can block sewage pipes at times.
- Try not to use water pipes for washing cars in the driveway or garages. Use water buckets instead and avoid a messy or slippery driveway.
