Quick water conservation tips to use in your home
Turn off water
Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save up to 2 gallons a minute. That’s over 220 gallons a week for a family of four. Plug the sink instead of running the water to rinse your razor and save up to 200 gallons a month.
Reduce shower time
Reducing a 10-minute shower to 5 minutes using a standard showerhead will save 12.5 gallons of water on each occasion.
Mindful laundry
Save up to 3,400 gallons of water a year by washing laundry only when the machine is full.
13, 000 gallons
Water-efficient toilets can save up to 13,000 gallons of water a year. If your toilet flapper doesn’t close properly after flushing, repair it.
Install more efficient fixtures
A water- efficient showerhead can save the average family 2,900 gallons of water and $70 in energy and water costs a year.
Install efficient appliances
Using a water efficient dishwasher will save about 3,870 gallons of water over its lifetime.
