In the UK we use about a third of our household water simply to flush the toilet. With another third used to wash ourselves, whether in baths, showers or sinks, it’s easy to see why we use more water in the bathroom than anywhere else in the house.
So there’s plenty of opportunities to use water more efficiently, whether running the shower a little less, turning off the tap while brushing teeth or even reusing bath water on the garden in the summer.

Drip and Drop’s Weekly Tip
A five minute shower uses around a third less water than a bath – though remember a powershower can use more water than a bath in less than five minutes. Why not turn off the shower while you soap up, restrict the flow of water to your shower head http://www.savewater.cheshirecommunities.co.uk/ bathroom/shower-and-bath or reduce your time http://www.savewater.cheshirecommunities.co.uk/ products/bathroom/shower-timer-duck/15 in the shower?
