Inside the average South Australian home, the greatest amount of water is used in the bathroom (20%) and toilet (11%).
One of the easiest ways of saving water in the bathroom and toilet is to install a water efficient showerhead and toilet cistern and ensure that you use them properly.

Take shorter showers

You can save up to 11 litres of water every minute by installing a water efficient shower head

Check for a leaking toilet cistern. Put food colouring in the cistern. If the colour shows in the toilet bowl without flushing, you’ve got a leak
