Water Conservation

Water supply could be restored relatively quickly if the demand was reduced. Please Conserve water by

 

  • Do not leave taps running in your house while carrying out normal tasks
  • Check for leaks and repair dripping taps, cistern or pipes.  If a leak is seen in a public place, report it to the Council
  • Only run dishwashers and washing machines when full
  • Use a basin when washing fruit and vegetables
  • Reduce time in shower and try to avoid having a bath
  • Know how to turn off water supply in the event of a pipe burst
  • Fill the kettle with enough water for your needs.
