Water Conservation

  • Use low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators, which reduce the flow of water by at least 50%.
  • Purchase an Energy Star washing machine, which uses less energy and 50% less water.
  • Check all faucets, toilets, and water lines for leaks. Over two billion gallons of water are lost annually due to household water leaks.
  • Keep showers under five minutes. Turn off the water when soaping up.
  • Flush the toilet only when necessary. Install a water-efficient toilet.
  • Don’t let the water run while you brush your teeth or shave.
  • Wash only full loads of clothes. Save energy by using cold water when washing clothes.
  • Avoid using garbage disposals. Compost or feed leftovers to pets. Use recycled water in disposal.
  • Limit dishwasher to full loads.
  • Choose a car wash that recycles water. If you must wash your car at home – use a shut-off nozzle and wash your car in small sections.
  • Be smart about watering lawns. Mulch wherever possible to retain water.
