Water conservation benefits both the environment and your wallet. With a few simple changes, you can reduce your water usage and save on utility bills. Here are five practical tips for homeowners in Melbourne’s Eastern Suburbs.
1. Fix Leaks Promptly
A dripping tap or leaking pipe may seem minor, but it can waste thousands of litres of water annually. Regularly check for leaks around taps, pipes, and water fixtures, and have them repaired promptly.
2. Install Water-Efficient Fixtures
Upgrade to water-saving fixtures such as:
- Low-flow showerheads, which reduce water usage without compromising pressure.
- Dual-flush toilets, allowing you to choose between a half or full flush.
- Aerated taps, which mix air with water to reduce flow.
3. Use Water Wisely in the Garden
Outdoor water use accounts for a significant portion of your water bill. Save water by:
- Watering your garden early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
- Installing a drip irrigation system to deliver water directly to plant roots.
- Mulching your garden to retain soil moisture.
4. Upgrade Your Hot Water System
Older hot water systems can waste water and energy. Consider replacing your system with an energy-efficient model, such as a solar or tankless water heater.
5. Adopt Water-Saving Habits
Small daily changes can make a big difference, such as:
- Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth.
- Running dishwashers and washing machines with full loads only.
- Reducing shower times by a few minutes.
