How to Celebrate Water Saving Week

1

Limit your shower time

Make an active effort to reduce your showering time by 1 or 2 minutes. You'd be surprised how much water you can save in just one week with this small change!

2

Track your water usage

Use a water calculator or monitor to track the amount of water you and your family consume daily. This will raise awareness about your usage pattern and will help address any areas for improvement.

3

Use rainwater for garden

Invest in a rain barrel to collect rainwater, and use it to water your plants. This not only saves tap water, but is also better for your plants as rainwater is naturally soft.

4

Fix leakages immediately

Any dripping taps, leaking toilets, or other faulty plumbing fixtures should be fixed immediately. A simple leak can waste gallons of water over a short time period.

5

Promote water conservation

Use your social media platforms to promote water conservation tips and tricks throughout the Water Saving Week. The more people aware and involved, the bigger the change can be!
