Quotation[4] = "Turn down the temperature on heated pools and spas. Warmer water will evaporate much quicker than cooler water.";

Quotation[6] = "Keep water levels lower to prevent water splashing over the sides.";
Quotation[7] = "Ensure that everyone in your household know the location of your property’s shut off tap and how to turn it off. If a pipe bursts, this can not only save litres of water but also extensive property damage.";
Quotation[8] = "Hot water pipes can be insulated to prevent heat loss, meaning you won’t have to run the water while you wait for it to heat up.";

Quotation[15] = "Don’t use a water hungry high pressure cleaning device to wash the car.";
Quotation[16] = "Use the dew of cool mornings to water your lawn. To stop dew evaporating, drag a hose across the lawn, this will help the water move from the blades to the soil.";
Quotation[17] = "Water reaches the roots of grass much easier if you aerate your lawn.";
Quotation[18] = "Individually water new plants instead of using a watering system. These plants require water more often but in smaller amounts.";

Quotation[24] = "If you’re using terracotta pots, choose pots that are glazed or painted. Applying a sealant before you use an untreated terracotta pot will also reduce water seepage.";
Quotation[25] = "Use peat moss and water crystals in your potting mixture to aid water retention. Remember to replace water crystals every few years.";
Quotation[26] = "A higher water account than expected may be a sign that you have a water leak. Regularly monitor your water accounts and check for anomalies.";
Quotation[27] = "Get a plumber to check your water pressure and your pipes.  Pipes that are not adequate for the velocity and pressure of the water going through them can break and leak.";
