Three…ways to reduce your water bill

1. Take showers instead of baths. A 10 minute shower uses approximately half the amount of water as a bath.

2. Use a quick wash setting on your washing machine. Most washing machines have a quick wash function that uses less water and is a more sustainable choice. Front load washing machines can also use up to 70 per cent less water than a top loader.

3. Use a water meter. A water meter is a device that is used to track a household’s water consumption. Being more aware of how much water you use could potentially save on costs.
