PETALING JAYA: A change of habit and using the right equipment can help conserve water and reduce the water bill, says a think tank.

With the water tariff hike for domestic users, Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (Awer) president S. Piarapakaran advised practising simple water conservation tips, such as doing a full load of laundry. He said this not only helps in optimising water use but also in reducing electricity bills.
