With cooler temperatures signalling the arrival of autumn, Goulburn Valley Water is reminding people to continue saving water into the winter and spring seasons.
While outdoor use is predicted to decrease with cooler weather, residents are still urged to look at how to make every drop count indoors.
People can take a 4-minute shower to save about 80 litres per house per day, only use the dishwasher or washing machine when full and on eco-mode, and scrape dishes clean rather than pre-rinsing.
Catch running water while waiting for it to warm up and use it on the garden, and peel vegetables with a bowl of water, rather than under a running tap.
People should consider reducing the duration and frequency of garden/lawn watering with cooler weather and potential increased rainfall in winter/spring,
