#ThirstyThursday Water Ban

April 05, 2012

The UK is facing one of the driest two-year periods on record which has led to water authorities placing a ban on water hosepipe usage in southern and eastern England. Anyone violating this ban could face a fine of up to £1,000.

GiveMeTap supports Directgov’s tips on how to save water:

Grow your grass a little longer. It will stay greener than a close-mown lawn and need less watering
Turn off the taps when you’re brushing your teeth or shaving
Install a water-saving device in the toilet
Keep a jug of water in the fridge instead of waiting for the tap to run cold
Use bathwater and washing-up water to wash the car and the garden
Use dishwaters and washing machines only when they are full
Save the cold water that comes through before a tap runs hot, and use it to water plants.

Happy water saving everyone!
