Start with the essentials

Compare usage over similar periods and investigate unexplained increases. Leaking fixtures, tank overflows and plumbing faults need different fixes. Agree responsibilities with the residents’ association before commissioning larger work.

What you can do

  1. Record meter readings consistently and note unusual events or tanker deliveries.
  2. Report visible leaks and arrange qualified plumbing repairs promptly.
  3. Compare proposed conservation work against costs, permissions and maintenance needs.

Keep in mind

Water quality must remain a priority. Storage and recharge changes should follow local public-health and building requirements.
