Ten Ways to Save Water With Your Plumber's Approval
By Jan Smith
1. Fix all Dripping taps and running toilets
2. Don't turn taps on full bore when you just want to rinse hands ~ use the sink plug
3. Don't take long showers. If you want to enjoy the peace that water gives, run a bath half full and enjoy the soak with a clear conscience.
4. Don't let the tap run when you clean your teeth. Just turn it on when needed
5. Make sure you have a water-limiting shower head.
6. If you have Teenagers, put them on an agreed timer so they appreciate why it has to be so ~otherwise threaten them with bathing in the same tub AFTER their brother/sister has had their bath!
7. When having a shower, if you have to let the water run then catch it in a bucket so it can be delivered to pot-plants/garden.
8. If you catch the 'grey water' from your washing machine you can water plants and shrubs~ so be careful of what you wash clothes in. Do you really need to bleach your clothes? Ummmm.....really?
9. Use plugs to limit the amount of water needed everywhere. Only do the dishes when you have enough dirty dishes to warrant a sink-full. Only put the dishwasher on when it's full of dirty dishes. Don't do half-loads.
10. If you decide to do the laundry, make sure you only use the amount of water needed to wash the size of the load.
The important thing is to THINK before automatically doing jobs involving water. Make your Plumber proud and help save lives~ the way things are heading, it could well be your own.
