To become a responsible and environmentally-aware household, you need only change a few aspects of everyday life to help make a difference.
- Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth
- Take shorter showers
- Install water-saving shower nozzles and dual-flush toilets
- Use the washing machine and dishwasher only when you have a full load, or change the settings to reflect the actual size of the load
- Never connect stormwater drains to the wastewater system
- Never put harmful substances down sinks, toilets or stormwater drains
- Use biodegradable and phosphate-free detergents or soap
- Check Council's website for other water-saving tips and safe disposal of harmful substances and pollutants.
