Water -

Many homes are now being fitted with water meters that may mean that if they do not reduce the way they use water they could be paying a lot more.

In deed the whole reason water meters are being fitted is to make people more aware of just how much water they are using and encourage them to change their ways and use water in a more frugal way.

A few ideas to reduce water usage are:

    * Fix leaking taps as soon as possible

    * Reduce the flush in your toilets by placing a plastic bottle filled with water or sand into the tank. It is also possible to buy toilets that come with the facility to use a short and long flush as required.

    * Have showers instead of baths and reduce the length of time in the shower everyday.

    * Turn water taps off when shaving or brushing teeth.

MY THOUGHTS

if you every had the misfortune of living in an area where water is gold (that has to be mined!), you would be more careful about your water consumption.  i don't have a problem turning off water while brushing my teeth.  but i waste a lot of water in the shower.i just love hot showers.
