Saving water
Greywater
Greywater is wastewater from your bath, bathroom basin, laundry and shower. You can use it on the garden or in your house to reduce your use of town water.
Rainwater
You can use rainwater to provide a water supply not affected by water restrictions. Rainwater tanks come in many sizes and shapes.
Water restrictions
Water restrictions are used during dry times to conserve water. During water restrictions, there are a range of things you can't do with water.
Water saving appliances
The shower, toilet and washing machine use most of the water in your home. Water efficient appliances can save you a lot of water and money in the long term.
Water smart gardens
Water smart gardens work with your local climate and available water without sacrificing beauty or variety.
