Water Checklist

Easy

Stay aware of water restriction status and follow all Sydney Water requirements

Collect water in buckets for gardens when coastal rain is forecast
Fill reusable bottles with water and refrigerate as to not run a tap until water cools in summer
Use the Sydney Water water saving tip guides
Wash up in a smaller plastic tub and put the waste water on the garden
Put a bucket in your shower and collect the cold water before you get in, then use it to water your garden

Moderate

Buy a shower timer and reduce the length of your shower and buy a water saving shower head
When replacing plants, plant native/drought tolerant plants and turfs

Fix leaky taps which can lose thousands of litres of water every year

Get involved or donate to the Murray-Darling River fund

If you can't do all these things, plant a tree or invest in offset plants

Difficult

Install rain tanks
Install a grey water system

Install a smart drip irrigation system for your garden with a timer to keep to Level 2 water restrictions.
