Water Conservation Tips

Turn the water off while you brush your teeth and save 4 gallons per minute!

Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks.
Let every drop go down you, not the drain!

Next time you add or replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant.
You could save up to 550 gallons each year!

Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes and save up to 1000 gallons a month!

Run the dishwasher only when it is full and save up to 1000 gallons a month!

Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl, you have a leak!
It's easy to fix, and can save more than 600 gallons a month.

Run your washing machine only when you have a full load and save up to 1000 gallons a month.

When watering your lawn, adjust sprinklers so you water the plants, not sidewalks or streets.
Don't water on windy days or within two days of a soaking rain.

Install a low flow showerhead and save up to 500 gallons a week.

Check pipes regularly for leaks. Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet!
It's simple, inexpensive and can save 500 gallons each month.
