Green School Update
 |
 |
As part of our preparation to achieve a water conservation flag, our committee decided after an extensive survey, that each toilet in the school uses 6 litres of water per flush.
This was an area where we felt we could conserve a lot of water. So we installed Hippo bags in each toilet in the school. |
|
 |
 |
The school has a total of 20 toilets and as each bag displaces 2 litres of water in the cistern per flush, we are sure that this initiative will achieve signifant water savings |
