Good everyday habits
Harvest rainwater
Connected to toilets, washing machine and garden, a rainwater tank covers a large share of a household's needs without drawing on the mains.
Learn moreHunt down leaks
Read the meter in the evening and again in the morning without using water: if it has moved, there is a leak. A running toilet wastes dozens of litres a day.

Run the washing machine and dishwasher full, on eco programmes; a short shower rather than a bath.
Private well
Before relying on it more, have the pump and water quality checked: a low water table makes the pump run dry and concentrates iron or manganese.
