Water Conservation for Marton and Taihape

February 23, 2024

Slow the flow

Here's some handy tips for saving water in your home:
Cut your shower time down by 2 minutes, you'll save at least 18 litres of water from going down the drain!
Don't run the tap when brushing your teeth and you save on average 5 litres of water each time!
On average, a washing machine uses up 100L of water per load! So make the most of that amount and fill your machine up to it's maximum load capacity.
Keep a cold jug of water in your fridge rather than run the taps until the water runs cold.
If you're cleaning your driveway or other concrete areas of leaves and debris, use a broom instead of a hose.
Invest in a rainwater tank that can be used for some of those outdoor activities, and save on using tap water.
All these little things add up and lead to big savings when it comes to water.
