Andre Pretorius: “We use a two-litre toilet bowl, we reuse our bath water in the garden, and we use rainwater from our Jojo tank to fill our pool.”
Residents fill us in on their water saving methods.
Rui Santos: “We share the shower from time to time to avoid over-usage, and use our bath and shower water to water the garden.”
Nomasonto Nogwaba: “In our household we do not use more than 20 litres a day. We use that 20 litres of water for bathing, cooking and drinking.”
Nkone Sinyela: “I keep bottled water to monitor the litres of water we use in the house. This way we avoid running the taps repeatedly.”
Didinlt Makaula: “I use a bathing bowl. It saves more water than the shower and bathtub, and it’s easier to clean. You scrub and rinse.”
Cindy Siza: “When making tea I boil the exact amount of water I need for my cup, to avoid spilling out the remaining water and wasting it.”
