Reducing your water demand on the utility supply can save you significant money on your water bills. Price forecasts for many jurisdictions anticipate increasing costs due to water scarcity. Why not do what you can now to avoid this escalating cost.

Reducing your demand on water utility supply reduces the energy required to process and deliver water to homes, businesses, and industry. It also reduces the embodied energy required in all of that infrastructure. There are also many localised environmental impacts associated with water extraction and delivery practices and your specific impact depends on your local context. What is certain is that reducing your usage and working towards home water self-sufficiency, will have a positive impact on our environment.

Despite a sense of water abundance in our cities and communities, water is not limitless. Sadly for many, ensuring adequate water supply is a daily struggle. If you have it, you are very fortunate, however we should all recognise that our changing climate puts many of our water sources at risk. Statistically, water shortages, water restrictions and for many, water rationing, is increasing. The reality is that the future of many of our major water sources is uncertain. Why not take yourself out of that equation and take some simple steps now to reduce or eliminate your reliance on utility supplied water.
