At work
You can reduce costs at work by saving water and using water-efficient products. Businesses account for nearly one-third of Sydney’s daily water use.
10 water saving tips
- Mop or sweep floors instead of hosing down hard surfaces. Microfibre mops use less water, create less waste and reduce slip hazards.
- Fix leaks – check leaks in taps, pipes and hoses. One leaking tap can waste more than 2,000 litres a month! Leak detection takes just a few minutes. Check that urinals and toilets are not leaking or flushing when not in use.
- Inspect washers and seals regularly and replace them once they appear worn.
- Install water-efficient appliances and equipment – e.g. at least 3 star rated flow restrictors in taps and showers. Replace single flush toilets with efficient dual flush models - they use 50% less water as old models.
- Reuse rainwater - collect rainwater in a tank and reuse it for irrigation, dust suppression or toilet flushing. Calculate how much you could save with Sydney Water's rainwater calculator.
- Rinse dishes in a plugged sink - it's just as easy and effective as under a running tap.
- Install a wastewater treatment system to recycle water and cut down on water bills. Seek professional advice.
- Inform and involve staff - include water saving information in staff training programs and discuss ideas at staff meetings.
- Motivate staff – link water savings with staff performance.
- Communicate water saving ideas using your intranet, newsletters, emails or posters. Encourage staff to send water saving ideas via email or through suggestion boxes.
