There are several things
you can do around your home that will significantly reduce water waste
and save you money.
In the bathroom: Nearly
75% of the water used in your home is used in the bathroom.
-
An
ultra-low toilet can cut your family’s total indoor water
use by as much as 20%.
-
Don’t
let the water run when you’re brushing your teeth or washing
your face.
-
When
showering, just get wet and turn the water off while soaping up,
then turn back on to rinse off. You can also have low-flow showerheads
installed that will deliver as little as 1.25 gallons per minute,
as compared to the standard 3.2 gallons.
-
Make
sure your dishwasher is full because it uses the same amount of
water whether it contains a full load or just a few pieces.
-
Keep
a pitcher of water in the refrigerator for drinking rather than
running water each time.
-
Most
washers offer different water levels for small, medium, and large
loads. Select the appropriate water level for your load of laundry
and wait until you have a full load of clothes before running the
washing machine whenever possible.
-
If
you have a pool, cover it. Thousands of gallons of water can be
lost through evaporation. Covering the pool will reduce this by
90%.
-
Clean
your driveway with a broom or blower. Hosing it down for five minutes
wastes 25 gallons of water.
-
Water
your grass between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. to prevent evaporation and
allow more water to penetrate the soil.
