Saving Water and Power

We have provided this information in the interest of assisting you to save and reduce your power and water bills

Saving Water

• Take shorter showers.
• Run dishwashers only when they are full.
• Don’t leave the tap running while you brush your teeth.
• Report quickly leaking taps and toilets and other leaks that can waste water (refer to our reporting repairs procedure).

Saving Power

• Turn lights off when you leave the room.
• Turn off appliances that aren’t being used.
• Close off areas that don’t need to be heated or cooled.
• Fill kettles with cold water and only as much as you need at one time.
• Microwave ovens use less power than conventional electric ovens.
• Use cold water in the washing machine where possible.
• Set your hot water heater to no more than 65oC.
• Look at the energy efficiency rating of appliances before you buy.
