Do You Waste Precious Water?

Instead of putting waste water down the drain, l have been putting it on my plants. Then, l wondered, am l being irresponsible, as it could attract rats?!!
I am on a water meter so it makes sense to utilise every drop of water, unlike some people who can use as much as they want as their charge is incorporated with their Council Tax.
Do you think like me and try to utilise every drop of water, or do you just run the taps until your heart's content?
With the present heatwave, will you think more about your water usage?

Hi

I am also on a water meter, so I do not waste water.

I only drink wine now.

Save the Planet.

I have never really wasted water. I drink the bath water after I've bathed in it. Takes a couple days obviously but it's worth it.

I hope you wash and peel the spuds while you're wallowing in the bath too



I was once told that the newsagent's sister, when she visited, would lie in the bath for hours flicking through 'top shelf' magazines, eating oranges and smoking

Conjours up a lovely pic of scummy water with bits of food, fag ash and fag ends floating around

We aren't deliberately careful with water, but we don't waste it either, it's best to use a fair bit of water, it stops the stuff in the reservoirs going stagnant.

Re: Do You Waste Precious Water?

I'm very careful with water, it's saved me loads of money being on a meter.
I save electricity and gas too.
Very frugal I am!

EZ, if you wear clothes in the bath you could wash them at the same time!
I have a shower so I don't do that!
