This one is simple yet effective if you are one of those people who have a water meter fixed to your house. When you have one of those things they end up costing you a lot of money when you waste water.
So don't waste water!
Its common sense anyway, especially in places where there are often water shortages. So how do you stop wasting water?
Well there are loads of ways.
- When you fill your kettle to make a cup of tea, don't fill it right up, only put as much in to cover the heating element. You save money on electricity too and it boils faster!
- When you brush your teeth, turn the tap on only when you're rinsing - don't let it run the whole time you're brushing as it's just water and money going down the plug hole!
- Don't use your toilet as as a dustbin! All those extra unnecessary flushes add up! When you blow your nose on a tissue, put it in the bin!
- When you water your garden, do it in either the early morning or late evening so the sun doesn't evaporate most of it - your plants get more of the moisture they need and you don't need to spend so long doing it!
- And finally, the obvious one - if you have any dripping taps, leaky valves etc - fix them!
Hope these tips help you to save money!
