Water Saving Tips

   In the Kitchen

As in the bathroom, install a low-slow faucet aerator. You'll save 2.5 gallons per minute.

If you use an automatic dishwasher, wait until you have a full load and only run once a day. Short cycle uses 7 gallons. You'll save 10-12 gallons per each cycle not run.

Keep a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator instead of running it at the tap until it cools. You'll save about 2 gallons per drink.

   Lawn or Garden

Water in the evening or morning to prevent rapid evaporation during the heat of day. You'll save 35 gallons per 1/2 acre per water.

Use a nozzle which can be shut off or adjusted to a fine spray. You'll save 5 gallons per minute.

Use a broom or rake rather than a hose to remove leaves and debris from driveway, walk, patio, and pool decks. You'll save 25 gallons per 5 minutes of work.

    In the Garage

Wash your car with a bucket, sponge, and a hose with a shut-off valve. You'll save 85 or more gallons per wash.

Use a car wash which recycles water or wash your car at home. You'll save 500 gallons per wash.
