Why must you use water efficiently?
It reduces your water bill

• It reduces the cost of water purification and maintenance costs.
• It makes water available for our increasing population so that EWASCO and the Embu County government can supply water to others who might not have a reliable water supply
• Ensuring a continuous uninterrupted supply of water in the future

How to conserve water without necessarily changing your lifestyle?
Indoors

• Install water-saving shower heads and flow restrictors
• Take short showers or, if you want a long soak, take a bath
• Repair leaking/dripping taps
• Turn the tap off when you are brushing your teeth
• Buy water efficient devices (small shower heads etc.)
• Rinse vegetables in a full sink or pan of water.

Outdoors

• Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and sidewalk
• Wash a car on the lawn using a bucket instead of the hose
• Rainwater harvesting
