Carrying
Out A Survey Of Water Use
This is the most painstaking part of the project which needs good
attention to detail. It is simpler to deal with the central heating
as one item.
Step 1. |
List every room in the house which has items that
use water |
|
Don't forget garages, outbuildings,
lofts, garden, etc |
Step 2. |
For each room list all the water devices |
|
Taps, toilets, tanks, pumps, washing machines, radiators, etc |
Step 3. |
For each appliance list: |
|
a. Whether it leaks or drips?
b. How much water does it use
c. Is the item low, medium or high usage?
d. In the case of baths and sinks - is there a working plug? |
Step 4. |
For each item decide what opportunities there
are to reduce water use |
|
Fixing leaks and drips, fitting pressure reduction valves,
plugs work properly, aerating taps and shower heads, etc |
Step 5. |
Compile the whole lot into a chart for review |
| |
For an example survey have a look at the 2005
Survey Results.
For an example record sheet you can print out have a look
at the Checklist Index |
