We live in the driest continent in the world, so it's important we use our water resources wisely and adjust our water use when conditions change.
Read your water bill and water meter
Information on your bill can help you become aware of your household or business use and regular readings of your water meter can help you monitor consumption. This can help you discover any concealed leaks, which can be wasting thousands of litres of water, with no visible signs on the surface. How to read your water meter
Fix leaks
Leaks can waste thousands of litres of water. Check your toilets, taps, showerheads, irrigation systems and pipes and repair leaks as soon as possible. How to check for leaks
Use water efficient appliances and fixtures
Water efficient appliances can significantly reduce your water use and save you money in the long term. Look for products showing the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) rating sticker or visit the Smart Watermark website for certified water efficient services and products.
