Saving Water at Home, continued

In The Kitchen

  • Wash your dishes by hand where possible – and wash them in a sink, not under running water.
  • If you use a dishwasher, make sure it is full and follow the instructions.
  • Use the water efficient cycle in your dishwashing machine.
  • When buying a dishwasher, choose one with a high water efficiency rating (3A’s or higher).
  • Wash vegetables and fruit in a bowl and not under running water.
  • Don’t defrost food by placing it under a running tap

In The Laundry

  • Only use your washing machine when it is full.
  • Use the lowest possible water settings.
  • When buying a washing machine, choose one with a high water efficiency rating (3A’s or higher).
  • Remember that front-loading washing machines use considerably less water than top- loading washing machines.
