3.Water

• Water is a precious commodity in Hong Kong. It also uses energy in being filtered and cleaned, transported, and pumped up to your roof tank - as well as in being heated. Please don't waste it.
• Don't draw off more water than you need for any given purpose.
• Take a shower instead of bath.
• Turn off the tap whilst brushing your teeth.
• Be economical with your washing machine or dishwasher - don't use it until it is fully loaded.
• Make sure there are no leaks in your toilet flushing system.
• If you have a dripping tap, please get it fixed - it can waste up to 70 litres of water every 24 hours.
• Avoid rinsing hands, clothes, vegetables etc. under a running tap - use a bowl.
• Re-use shower/bath water to wash the floors or water your plants.
