Water Conservation

Tips on Conserving Water

• Short showers save water
• Take half baths
• Wash clothes wisely and use full loads
• Use hot water efficiently
• Brush teeth (turn faucet on briefly to rinse)
• Flush toilets only when necessary
• Don't run water continuously while shaving

Check toilets for leaks by adding a few drops of food coloring to the water in the tank. If the bowl water becomes colored without flushing, there's a leak that needs attention. About 20% of toilets have hidden leaks.
