I conserve water!


WATER CONSERVATION
Water is a precious resource and should be conserved as much as possible. Try to find more ways to save every drop!

Water Conservation Tips:

  • When washing dishes by hand, fill one sink or basin with soapy water. Quickly rinse under a slow-moving stream from the faucet.
  • Take shorter showers. Replace your showerhead with an ultra-low-flow version. Some units are available that allow you to cut off the flow without adjusting the water temperature knobs.
  • Store drinking water in the refrigerator. Don’t let the tap run while you are waiting for cool water to flow.
  • Don't run the hose while washing your car. Use a bucket of water and a quick hose rinse at the end.
  • Run only full loads in the washing machine and dishwasher.
  • Capture tap water. While you wait for hot water to come down the pipes, catch the flow in a watering can to use later on house plants or your garden.
  • Don't defrost frozen foods with running water. Either plan ahead by placing frozen items in the refrigerator overnight or defrost them in the microwave.
  • Don't use your toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket.
