What`s the matter, Mrs. Ha?
I`m worried about my most recent water bill. It`s enormous.
Let me see. 200,000 dong! You should reduce the amount of water your family uses.
How do I do that?
First of all, get a plumber to make sure there are no cracks in the pipes.
I`ll do that.
Baths use twice as much water as showers, so I suggest taking showers. And remember to turn off the faucets. A dripping faucet can waste 500 liters of water a month.
I see. Thank you.
