Water Use

The information on this page identifies the current sources of potable water and daily water consumption, plus an interactive water-use calculator.  

Water-Use Calculator

Give our interactive water-use calculator a go to find out how you can conserve water around the home.

Simply answer a few questions about your household and the calculator will provide you with your average daily water use per person. You’ll then receive some personalised tips identifying areas where you can save water.

Please note that the calculator provides an indication, rather than an exact measure, of your water usage.

Complete a simple form that does not require any plug-ins.

This water-use calculator originally appeared on the North Shore City Council website.  It has been adapted for our water conservation initiatives and used here with their kind permission.
