Teaforlife

I need ideas on how to save on my water bill. How will you save money?

Fill one or two 500ml mineral bottles and place them in the toilet cistern to displace the water and reduce the flush.

We won't save anything by conserving water.

If we all reduce consumption IW will raise its €/1000 litre rate to make sure it gets it wedge.

Yes but those who use least will still pay least?

It will be interesting to wait and see. I think it will turn out a little like the burglar alarm scenario i.e. it is not good for you have one but bad for you not to as everyone else does.

I have seen reports of a spike in water butt sales. So if we all pull together to save water we will all spend money to save on water consumption only to push it's cost to us upwards.

I will leave the thread now for others to post water saving tips....

domestic water accounts for 16% of water used in ireland.
we have leakage rates for 40% which means in fact that domestic water accounts for 10% of water produced.


if we all managed to conserve a whopping 30% of our current water usage, we'd actually only be reducing our national water demand by 3%


ill just leave that hanging there.......................

Nope, that's not the reasoning behing the creation of IW. There is no incentive, no point even, in 'saving' water as RITwing says.
