Fixing any drips and leaks is a quick and easy way to reduce your water consumption. It may not seem like they waste much water, but drips and leaks can soon add up. 4,000 drips equal 1 litre of water, so if 10 drips leak from your tap every minute, that adds up to 3.6 litres daily!

Turn the tap off where possible when washing your hands or brushing your teeth. Turning off the tap every time you brush your teeth can save around 12 litres of water. Assuming you brush your teeth twice daily, that’s 8,760 litres a year!

Showers are quicker and more water and energy-efficient than baths. An 8-minute shower uses 62 litres of hot water, 18 litres less than the average bath. So, if you want to save water and energy, showering is the best option. Learn more about the benefits of replacing your bath with a shower.
