Conservation Tips

Update your showerheads and faucets. Water-efficient showerheads and aerators for faucets can significantly reduce the amount of water you use. Installing a water-efficient showerhead is one of the most effective water-saving steps you can take inside your house.
Take shorter showers. If everyone in the United States shortened their shower by one minute every day, we could save 85 billion gallons per year.
Place a bucket in the shower to collect the water while it is heating up. Use the water as needed around your home for watering plants or to refill a flushing toilet.
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving.
Toilets are not trash cans. Only flush the toilet when necessary. Both help to conserve water and reduce sewer overflows.
Fix that leak!
