- Help Conserve water by turning
the water faucet off when you brush your teeth. Also turn the water off while
shaving too.This saves three gallons of
water each day!
-
If your going to take a shower, don't waste the water
while waiting for hot water to reach the shower head. Catch that water in a
container to use on your outside plants or to flush the toilet. This saves 200
to 300 gallons a month!
-
Check the toilet for leaks. Put dye tablets or
food coloring into the tank. If color appears in the bowl without flushing,
there's a leak that should be repaired. Saves 400 gallons a month.
-
When
washing dishes by hand, use the least amount of detergent possible. This
minimizes rinse water needed. This saves 50 to 150 gallons a month!
-
Water your lawn only when it needs it. Step on your grass. If it
springs back, when you lift your foot, it doesn't need water. So set your
sprinklers for more days between watering. This saves 750-1,500 gallons per
month!
-
When using the washingmachine or running the dishwasher make sure
it is full. This will save 300-800 gallons a
month!
