Conserve Water

These water conservation tips are continued from last month's "Tip of the Month."
  1. Use High Efficiency toilets.  The new, 1.28 gallon toilets work much better than the old 1.6 "low flow" toilets.
  2. Switch to High Efficiency shower heads.  The new shower heads have just as much pressure as the old, inefficient ones, but use less water.
  3. Water your lawn deeply.  By deeply, we mean to water for 1-2 minutes at a time 3-4 times, spaced at least 1 hour apart on the days that you water.
  4. Check your soil before watering. If it's damp to the touch, you don't need to water.
  5. Businesses can install waterless urinals
  6. While waiting for your bath water to get hot, collect the water in a bucket and water your plants.
  7. Take short, 5 minutes showers.
  8. Don't run the water while brushing your teeth!
  9. Don't run the water while shaving (this goes for your legs and your face). Turn the shower off while performing these tasks.
