Everybody must be conscious that water, the basic element of life is scarce not only in Cyprus but in many other countries in the world and that we are responsible and obliged to manage it correctly and do our best to save it.
There are a lot of possibilities to save water and the public is urged to follow the recommendations here below, so as to ensure the best possible use of every drop of water.
| - | Regularly check the hydraulic installation at your house, to timely identity any leakage and take appropriate measures to repair faults. |
| - | Try to immediately fix dripping taps given that a faulty tap, even if it only drips, may waste several tons of water. |
| - | Use new systems and devices for a more economical use of water. |
| - | Never use a full bath! Prefer the shower without leaving water running for no reason while you shower. Keep cold water in a bucket until warm water runs down and the opposite. |
| - | Urge and advice children to never play with water in the bath, the yard or anywhere else. |
| - | Brush your teeth with the tap closed while you brush. |
| - | When you shave, never leave the water run and use a small quantity of water in an appropriate container. |
| - | Use washing machines and dish washers only when they are full, always choosing the energy saving programme. |
| - | Wash fruits and vegetables in a bucket, using the same water later, to water flowers. |
| - | Water your flowers and plants with a sprinkler in the morning or later in the afternoon when water evaporates less. |
| - | Use a sponge and a bucket to wash your car and not a hose, which constitutes an offence. |
| - | Verandas and other outdoor areas may be cleaned by sweeping and mopping. Avoid using a hose what anyway constitutes an offence. |
| - | ake the initiative and notify the authorities immediately about any leak and water loss in the streets. Do not wait for someone else to do it. |
