This summer, we’re being water wise with Sydney Water, Make sure your washing machine is 100% full before you turn it on. 🧺

Throughout this BBL season, Sydney Sixers will be sharing their #WaterWiseTips to be water wise this summer.
🧹 First up, make a clean sweep. Use a broom or a rake to clean leaves or debris away, rather than hosing them down and wasting excess water. #TurnItOffBob
👏🌧️🤞Rain is in the forecast! Adjust your irrigation for the fall🍂. Cut back irrigation to 1-2x per week and please don't water within 48 hours of rainfall.

Personalised tip - get a cat water fountain with a filter. This means you don't need to change the water as frequently (keep in a cool, dark place). if you don't have a fountain then make sure you use any leftover water on the garden #InternationalCatDay#waterwisetips
#WaterwiseTips Think about fitting a water butt to collect rainwater off your roof. Water butts usually store about 200 litres of water. As well as being better for watering your plants, using rainwater in the garden reduces the amount of treated water you use.
It's #WaterSavingWeek and in time for #WorldWaterDay tomorrow, we’re having a water barrel installed to catch the rain that falls on our bike sheds (to reduce the need to use tap water on our plants).
But we need to name it and for that we need your help...
Homeowners now in the process of planning their new bathroom are twice as likely to consider water-saving products than they were 12-18 months ago. Let's all do our bit for #WaterSavingWeek... #MakeEveryDropCount#WaterWiseTips
