Water Issues |
| Q |
How do I save water in the home? |
| A |
Re-use the water that vegetables are washed in for watering houseplants or for cleaning. If washing dishes by hand, rinse dishes off in a sink partially filled with water instead of running water. Defrost food in the microwave instead of under running water.
|
| Q |
Where does household water come from? |
| A |
Metropolitan councils and local authorities buy treated water from Rand Water and supply it via their own network of pipes to homes.
|
| Q |
What activity in the home uses more water??
|
| A |
The toilet.
Plastic bottles filled with water and placed in the tank can reduce the water volume while maintaining a depth necessary to provide proper flushing velocity | |
