Manningham Council
This National Water Week (21 to 27 October), we're encouraging Manningham households to take part in Target 150.
Target 150 is a voluntary water-efficiency initiative to get us thinking about how much water we use. It encourages us to limit our water consumption to 150 litres per person, per day.
For most people, this means only saving another two litres of water - less than half a bucket of water a day. Simple changes to our everyday habits, such as only running the dishwasher when it's full, can help conserve water.
Check your water bill to see if you're hitting the target and try these water saving tips:
- shorten your shower time by one minute
- brush your teeth with the tap off
- fix any leaks
- scrape plates instead of rinsing them, before loading the dishwasher
- place a container in the sink to catch water when preparing vegetables or washing fruit
- use a broom to sweep the driveway, instead of using a hose.
