There are lots of ways to reduce your water consumption within your home saving you potentially hundreds of dollars annually. Three-quarters of all the water you use in your home goes down your bathroom drains! The biggest single water-guzzler is your toilet.
- Don’t run the tap when you are brushing your teeth, shaving, washing up and cleaning. Fill a cup or the sink with some water and you could reduce water use for these tasks by 60 to 80 percent.
- Install faucet aerators. Standard faucet aerators can use up to 16 litres (3.5 gallons) of water per minute. Low flow faucet aerators can cut water use by half or more. They’re inexpensive, widely available at Niagara Faucets or your local hardware/plumbing supply store, and are easy to install.
- Never use the toilet as a garbage can. Dispose of all waste chemicals, cleaners or acids at your local Household Hazardous Waste Depot.
- Try taking short showers instead of baths.
