Reduction of Water Usage

The first step we have taken to reduce the usage of water was to measure how many times the toilets in the building were flushed each day. This was done on a few different days in order to get an average figure.

We then put a 2 litre plastic bottle, with the top removed, into each of the cisterns. What this does is to reduce the amount of water needed to re-fill the cistern after each flush by 2 litres.

After doing the maths we have discovered that we are using approx 33,500 litres of water LESS per year.
