Using the toilet as a garbage is harmful to the
environment and also water treatment infrastructures.
According to a study conducted in 2011, 72% of
Canadians sometimes use their toilets instead of using
garbage cans1. Help water treatment plants do their
work! Dental floss, sanitary pads, baby wipes and
makeup removal wipes, or cotton swabs do not break up
in the water the same way toilet paper does (as it was
designed to do). They can block up the sewer system
and require expensive cleanup operations.
Another important thing is to watch what you throw out
in your kitchen or bathroom sink, or bathtub. Even
your washer or dishwasher can cause a back-up that’s
expensive to fix.
Never flush medication or toxic cleaning products
down the toilet or drain. Several chemicals and
medications are not filtered by water plants and end up
being released into the environment. This can have
harmful consequences on the fauna and flora.

Save … for

The Programme d’économie d’eau potable
(PEEP), 39th edition, runs from May 4 to August 7
this year, throughout Quebec! Municipalities and
citizens alike will be working with us to reduce
their drinking water consumption through small
and large actions.

1,000
litres of water
per hour.
That is more water than flushing a toilet 100 times,
filling up a spa, taking 12 ten-minute showers,
running the dishwasher 50 times or washing six
loads of clothes.
Turn off the tap while you are
washing your face, brushing
your teeth or shaving.

If your municipality authorizes lawn watering,
make sure to water your plants in the morning or
evening. If you water them in direct sunlight, 60%
of the water will evaporate almost immediately.
Place a pitcher of
water in the refrigerator
to keep it cold.
®
Install a WaterSense
certified water-efficient
shower head.
Wash your dishes in a sink
filled with soapy water or
make sure you fill up the
dishwasher before starting it.
Bucket-wash your car
instead of using a
hose – it saves
300 litres of water.
Take a 5-minute
shower instead
of a bath.
Flush the toilet
only when
necessary.
Use a broom rather than a
garden hose to clean your
driveway – this will save almost
200 litres of water.
