How to save water? Water conservation starts at home, where our daily use of faucets, showerheads, dishwashers and toilets all added up to unsightly numbers. Fortunately, you can dramatically reduce your water usage through helpful tips you can use throughout your home:
- Replace old toilets with High-Efficiency Toilets (HETs) to save up to 17,000 gallons of water annually.
- If you cut one minute off your shower that is a savings of 2.5 gallons with a 2.5 gpm showerheads times 365 days in a year -= 912 gallons saved annually.
- Fix leaky faucets and install low-flow aerators on kitchen and bath faucets to effortlessly save hundreds of gallons of water each month.
- Use a broom rather than a hose to clean off driveways, steps and sidewalks.
- Turn off the water while brushing your teeth or shaving to keep excess water from going down the drain.
- Water your garden and lawn during the coolest part of the day, generally in the morning.
- Make sure the dishwasher is fully loaded before washing.
