11 Tips From DEWA That Might Help You With That Monthly Bill
Every month we’re all bombarded with that bill summary that shows us how much we owe DEWA, and most of the time it’s never that pretty (I mean, do you NEED to take that 45 minute shower every evening?)
Since the majority of us share the same sort of pain (unless you’re one of those lucky people who bagged a great all inclusive rent deal), here are 11 tips that ought to make that bill slightly more okay-ish.
1. Did you just say 4 gallons….
Instead of keeping the tap running, fill a cup with water to rinse your mouth, to save 4 gallons of water. #DEWAbacktoschool pic.twitter.com/zLbhxJDayj

3. Unless of course you’re lazy
And you’re just about that manual-wash-and-go at the petrol station
When washing your car, use a bucket of soapy water & use a nozzle to stop the flow of water from the hose between rinsing. #GreenSummer pic.twitter.com/KQI80Vx1xf

7. This one might hurt a little, but it’s all for the better.
Use your AC only when and where it is needed. Turn AC units off in unoccupied rooms and when you are not at home. #GreenSummer pic.twitter.com/9nqJO6q8MT

8. Unless you’re a panda – then 14C is acceptable.
Set your AC to 24°C, which is the optimal temperature for the body. #GreenSummer pic.twitter.com/Jc1odl9xwC
