You can conserve gallons of water everyday by making simple changes in the way you live. Look through these suggestions and implement some into your daily life:  

  • Shut the water off between rinsing dishes or brushing your teeth.  Just by shutting off the water when you brush your teeth, you alone can save 8 gallons of water.  
  • Keep showers to 5 minutes or less in length. A five-minute shower takes 10 to 25 gallons of water.  Take showers since they use less water than baths.
  • Use flow-restricting devices on shower heads.
  • Fix leaky faucets immediately. A dripping faucet can waste up to 2,000 gallons of water a year.
  • Run only full loads of clothes in the washer.
  • Place a plastic bottle or brick in the water tank of the toilet so that it will use less water for each flushing.
  • Turn the water on only when you are actually using it.
  • Avoid using water for watering lawns or washing cars during times of water shortage.
  • 100 bicycles can be produced for the energy and resources it takes to build one medium-size automobile. Commute by bike!
