Mason designed to save water

According to Cape Water Solutions, the average family of 4 can use up to 250 litres of water a day. Aside from changing our habits to save water and curb waste, it is imperative that our homes are also designed to reduce our consumption of water. Mason is Amanzimtoti’s first green-rated, EDGE certified estate and is a prime example of the steps to take when designing a home that will save at least 20% in water consumption.

The water crisis in South Africa

There are drought-stricken areas in South Africa; Cape Town was not so far from D-day where the dam water levels had hit an all-time low of 15 to 30% capacity. South Africa is referred to as a water-stressed country, where it receives an annual rainfall of 492 millimetres.

Saving water at Mason

Being an EDGE certified estate, Mason has installed fixtures and finishes that would lower the use of water. The design of each apartment incorporates a low-flow showerhead and faucets for the kitchen sink, as well as the wash basin. There are also dual and single flush systems installed for water closets.

Habits to follow

To really reduce your water bill at the end of each month, you also need to curb some bad habits. Just small gestures like spending less time in the shower, running half the amount of your normal bath water, being conscious of closing the tap while brushing your teeth; these are not huge habits to break but they have a big impact.

Mason has been designed to create a greener lifestyle for families and on-the-go individuals. Register your interest to secure one of the pet-friendly 2-bedroom 1-bathroom apartments from R760 000 and 2-bedroom 2-bathroom units from R890 000.
