Conserving water in the laundry

Smart water choices in the laundry can lead to huge household water savings.

Small steps for big changes

  • Always match the washing machine water level to the size of the load
  • Fix that leaky tap! A dripping tap can waste up to 60,000 litres a year. 
  • Wash in cold water to reduce energy use.  
  • Water your plants with water used for hand washing.

Thinking bigger?  Why not try:

  • Choosing a water efficient washing machine – front loaders are much more water efficient than top loaders.
