The expected move to pricing water by the Kilolitre will draw close attention to the price of water; in Victoria this is due from 1/07/2010. One can apply some easy home renovating solutions to reduce your water bill.
1 Save 2,000 litres a year in the Kitchen, with aerated water taps.
2 Save 18,250 a year with efficient shower heads and short showers.
3 Save 5,000 litres in the garden with an efficient hand held spray nozzle.
4 Save 16,000 litres a year in the laundry with a frontloader washing machine.
5 Save 20,300 litres a year with an efficient Dual flush toilet system.
This gives grand total of 61,550 litres saved year.
This represents around the daily allowance for a single person in the household.
Obviously, a close check of the Water Savings WELLS ratings is going to payoff handsomely for all your appliance puchases. I have recently, installed a watertank to capture the rain from the roof. I must consider connecting to the Water Closets, as this would be a massive saving. If I get excited, I might even install a grey water system to tend to the garden. This would include an underground agricultural pipe filtered watering system. Just installed the Front Loader washing machine, today.
