Water saving tips for the home
Water is a precious resource that we can’t afford to waste. Here are some tips on how you can help save water and save money on your water account.

• Fix leaking taps. A faucet leaking a slow steady drip - 100 drops per minute - wastes 350 gallons per month.
• Use your dishwasher with full loads only; every load uses about 15 gallons.
• Install a water efficient showerhead. A new showerhead can save 10,000 gallons of water per year.
• Take shorter showers. Save at least 2.5 gallons for every minute you cut back.
• Only use the dishwasher for full loads.
• Replace older toilets. A new toilet can save 19,000 gallons of water per year.
• While brushing your teeth, turn off the tap and save at least 2.5 gallons every minute. Rinse using a cup for water; run the tap only to rinse the toothbrush.
• Do not allow the hose to run as you wash your car. Use a self-closing hose nozzle, or turn off the water, between rinses.
