Hacks to Cut Your Water Bill Water is one of Singapore\u2019s most precious resources, so we need to make every drop count. In this second of our three-part series, we share some hacks to save water and cut the water bill. Did you know that if you can reduce your water usage from the average of 140 litres per person per day to 130 litres per person* per day, you could shave at least 7% off your water bill? Simply remember W-A-T-E-R ! *PUB\u2019s Make Every Drop Count\u00a0 W\u00a0is for washing clothes on a full load About 15% of our daily water usage in a household is used for washing clothes. So why not start the washer only when you have a full load? You can save up to 40 litres of water every day, or 288 litres of water every week. Using a more water-efficient washing machine can gain further savings. A washer that is rated four ticks can save up to 27 litres of water per wash, compared to a three-tick washer. So, look out for those ticks to save, when you buy a washing machine. A\u00a0is for always using half flush where possible Did you know that flushing the toilet bowl accounts for 17% of our daily water consumption? Using a half-flush instead of a full flush each time saves you 1.5 litres of water per flush. T is for turning off the shower when soaping Showering is the biggest water guzzler in our homes, sucking up almost a third of the water used daily. By just turning off the shower when soaping, you can save up to 27 litres of water each day. You can double your savings by getting a water-efficient shower head which reduces water flow without sacrificing performance. If you haven\u2019t done so, request for your free PUB water-saving kit\u00a0here. The kit consists of a set of thimbles that help to regulate flow rates from your taps and showerheads. Also, make sure you fix leaks whenever you spot them because just losing a drop of water a second can amount to 4 litres of water wasted every day. E is for ensuring the tap is off when brushing teeth Did you know the bathroom tap that we use for handwashing and brushing teeth guzzles up to 12% of the water used every day? Just keeping the tap off when you are brushing your teeth will save you up to 23 litres of water every day. That can fill up 153 mugs for rinsing your mouth. R is for rinsing vegetables in a container Extending these habits to the kitchen, which accounts for 16% of our daily water usage, will save you another 33 litres of water every day. Simply use a container to rinse fruits and vegetables instead of washing them under running water. If you have plants at home, you can also reuse the water used for washing and rinsing rice, fruits and vegetables to water your plants. And by washing dishes in a filled sink instead of letting the tap run, you save a further 28 litres! This translates into 15.5 kettles of water. Every little drop counts. By taking the above small steps, you not only save precious water but save big on water bills too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10092","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"rttpg_featured_image_url":null,"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/author\/admin\/"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":null,"rttpg_excerpt":"$uper $aving Tips $uper $aving Tips for a Greener Earth &#038; Happier Wallet Power Up Your $avings Hacks to Cut Your Water Bill Recycle Today &amp; Save More for Tomorrow In this new three-parter series, we bring you tips on how to save Mother Earth (and some money) by recycling &amp; conserving water and energy.&hellip;","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10092\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cheapwebsitedesigner.org\/ccktc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
