ABOUT CONSERVING
WATER
Conserving water m the
home does not necessarily
mean a change in lifestyle. It
may only mean cutting back
and reducing wate or taking
a look at the way you now
water. Economical use of
water could result in lower
utility bills or keep them
from going higher
As you and other family
members go about per
forming daily personal and
household chores, follow
these conservation remin
ders to reduce water use.
Keep a bottle of drinking
water in the refrigerator to
eliminate running the water
until it gets cold
Don't use the disposal for
food waste, compost
vegetable peelings and other
food wastes or put them in
the garbage if convenient or
appropriate
Don’t let faucets run for
washing or rinsing dishes
Fill a container with water
for this purpose or put in the
stop in the sink drain
Brush teeth before
shaving Use the hot water
faucet allowing the cold
water in the line to get hot

enough for shaving instead
of wasting water (or letting
it run down the dram) until it
gets hot enough for shaving.
Use a glass of water to
rinse your mouth after
brushing your teeth rather
than running water over the
toothbrush and using the
toothrush to rinse your
mouth.
Take shorter showers
Turn the shower off while
soaping if the showerhead is
equipped with a shutoff
valve
Fix leaking faucets. A
leakage of 90 drops per
minute adds up to 300 gallons
of water lost per month - or
over 3000 gallons a year
