If you're building or renovating, there are many simple ways to save water in and around your home.

 

Recent studies show most of the water use around our homes occurs in our gardens, bathrooms, laundries and toilets. When building or renovating, you can make substantial water savings in your bathroom, kitchen and laundry.

 

Appliances
Choose appliances such as dishwashers and front loading washing machines that are water efficient. Install dual flush toilets, water efficient shower roses, flow restrictors and aerators on taps. You can read more about the Water Efficiency and Labelling Standards scheme. Shop around and get the most water efficient appliance that suits your needs.
