Tips to save water

Water shortages and severe drought situations are an increasing problem – help us save water: 

• Do not waste drinking water. You can for example turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
• Avoid unnecessary water consumption. Take a shower instead of a bath to save water
• Fully load your appliances. Don't start your washing machine or dishwasher until you have a full load to wash.
• Avoid excessive splashing and jumping in the pool. Water splashing outside the pool will evaporate.
• Don't water the plants during the day. Watering plants at night prevents water from evaporating, plants take better advantage of the water and need less water overall.
• Don't water the lawn in the garden at all. A brown lawn is the natural survival mechanism of grass.
• Wash your car only when absolutely necessary. Use public car washes for this. 

Please note that there are local restrictions on water usage that must be complied with.
