Conservation Tips

Water conservation tips

• Check toilets for leaks by putting food coloring in the toilet tank. If without flushing, the color appears in the bowl, the toilet is leaking. Repair any toilet leaks immediately.
• Don’t use the toilet as a wastebasket.
• Take shorter showers.
• Take baths in a partially filled tub.
• Replace older water fixtures with newer water saving fixtures.
• Don’t let the water run while brushing teeth, shaving and washing dishes.
• Run dishwashers and washing machines only with full loads.
• Don’t rinse dishes in the sink prior to running the dishwasher.
• Check all faucets and pipes for leaks and repair immediately.
• Keep a container of drinking water in the refrigerator to avoid running the tap and waiting for it to cool.
• Install a toilet dam in your toilet tank to use less water per flush.
• Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveways, sidewalks, and gutters.
• When washing vehicles, use a bucket of soapy water and use the hose only for rinsing.
