• Use your automatic dishwasher and clothes washer for full loads only.
• Turn the water off while you brush your teeth.
• Keep a bottle of cold water in the refrigerator. This eliminates the need to run the tap water until it is cold enough to drink.
• Check your toilet for leaks by putting a few drops of food coloring in your tank. If the color shows up in the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a wasteful leak that is costing you money and is wasting water.
• Take shorter showers. A shower uses about 6-10 gallons per minute. Time yourself!
• Use a broom instead of water to clean your driveways, patios and sidewalks.
• Don't run the hose while washing your car. Instead, fill a bucket with soapy water and then rinse.
• Only water your lawn when necessary. If the grass springs back after you step on it, then it does not need to be watered.
