Water Management
Water usage monitoring and conservation measures.
Is your community space connected to the public water mains supply?
Do you know where your water meter is located?
Do you have copies of your water bills for the last 12 months?
Have you taken a water meter reading in the last month?
Have you checked for water leaks in the last 6 months?
Use the "two-hour test": take a meter reading, don't use any water for 2 hours, then check if the reading changed.
Do you know what kind of taps you have in your community space?
Traditional taps, mixer taps, push-button taps, or sensor taps each have different water efficiency.
Have you fitted aerator taps or tap aerators?
Do you know what type of toilet cisterns you have (single flush or dual flush)?
Have you installed any water saving devices in your toilet cisterns?
Cistern displacement devices (like "hippos" or bags) reduce water per flush.
Do you have low-flow showers in your community space?
Have you considered rainwater harvesting for your facility?
Rainwater can be collected for garden watering, cleaning, or toilet flushing.
Have you considered switching to eco-friendly cleaning products?
