Your Rates Dollars How They Work For You Cassowary Coast Regional Council Water Conservation Save Water, Save $$, Save the Environment By using water sensibly, we can all contribute to a reduction in community demand for this precious resource. Conserving water will help reduce expenditure on treating and distributing water which will keep household water charges low. Did you know, it takes approximately: 5 Litres brush teeth (with running tap) 12 Litres flush the toilet (full flush) 30-200 Litres dripping tap (all day) 40-200 Litres washing mashine 40-250 Litres bath or shower 50-100 Litres hosing driveway 100-300 Litres car washing with hose Up to 1000 Litres garden sprinkler How to Save up to 50% of water use in the home Save up to 50% in the bathroom A water-efficient dual-flush toilet uses 6 litres or less per flush, versus an older style toilet which uses 11-12. A silent leak in a toilet can waste 225 litres or more a day (that’s between 20-40 flushes). Save up to 35% in the laundry Washing machines can use between 40-200 litres of water per load! Be sure to choose carefully the one that suits you best. Save up to 50% in the shower A water-efficient low-flow shower head delivers 90-150 litres for a 10 minute shower. A standard shower head is almost double that, at 250 litres. Save up to 20% in the kitchen An efficient dishwasher uses no more water than hand-washing, and half that of older models.
