Water Conservation Tips

1. Shorten your showers.  Even a one or two minute reduction can save up to 700 gallons per month.

2. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways and sidewalks.  Saves 150 gallons or more each time. At once a week, that is more than 600 gallons a month.

3. Don’t use your toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket. Saves 400 to 600 gallons per month.

4. 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. Saves 200 to 300 gallons per month.

5. Don’t water the sidewalks, driveway or gutter. Adjust your sprinkler so that water lands on your lawn or garden where it belongs – and only there. Saves 500 gallons per month.
