Water Conservation Tips

Take shorter showers and shallower baths. Showers use more water than baths.

Turn off water while brushing teeth, shaving, washing dishes, etc.

Install flow restrictors in faucets and shower heads.

Reduce number of toilet flushes per day and install water displacement inserts in toilets that use over 1.6 gallons per flush.

Use sink and tub stoppers.

Keep bottle of chilled drinking water in refrigerator instead of running the faucet to get a drink.

Make sure water softeners are working properly.

Adjust water-using appliances to use minimum amount of water to achieve appliances purpose.

Use a shut-off nozzle when washing your car.

Plant water-saving plants, trees, and shrubs particularly native species. Mulch to retain water. Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation.
