Ten Ways To Save Water And Money

 

1.              Do not over water plants and lawns. Avoid water runoff         into streets and gutters.

 

2.             For best results try morning watering. Evaporation loss is    at a minimum.

 

3.             Avoid washing down paved areas. Sweep driveways and         sidewalks in gardening cleanup.

 

4.             Repair faucet leaks. As much as 15 gallons of water can be          lost each day with a slow drip.

 

5.             When washing the car… Use bucket of water. Hose off only      to rinse.

 

6.             Avoid Toilet Water Waste. Do not use the toilet as a trash         dispenser.

 

7.             Don’t fall asleep in the shower. An extra 5 minutes in the         shower could mean another 50 gallons of water down the drain.

 

8.             Use the automatic dishwasher wisely. Half loads cheat           you out of full water use.

 

9.             Watch the laundry loads, too. Some 50 gallons of water are    used to wash a load of clothes. Make every load count.

 

10.       Avoid the “Running Faucet.” Don’t run water continuously              while shaving, brushing teeth, peeling vegetables, or washing              dishes.
