This week we all cut down our shower time to around 6 minutes from an approximate 10. We also cut down our dishwasher and washing machine cycles by only starting the appliances when they were full. We used the Hunter Water Calculator online to determine how much water we use in every part of the house in the original plan and hopefully by week 12 will be able to see some pleasing results, especially in the bathroom areas.
