Default water meter - saving water

I've just had a water meter installed. Hopefully it will save on the

They increase costs for the average user

What sort of things can I do to
cut costs as much as possible?
I have four rain barrels, although I'm a bit worried about the need to
top up the a small pond we have, in the summer.
I do have a sprinkler and a hose so will try and not use the sprinkler
if possible.
Is it worth putting something in the cisterns of the toilets?


yes.

Tap aerators too.

In Japan basins that empty straight into the big cistern are common.
