Simple Tips to Save Water

In the Bathroom...

•     Fill the bath tub halfway -- this can save 10-15 gallons.
  
•     Take shorter showers, this can save 3-5 gallons.
  
•     Turn the water off while brushing your teeth

In the Kitchen...

• Be sure your dishwasher is full before running it.
• Run a full load of clothes in your washing machine.
• To rinse fruits and vegetables, use a bowl of water rather than running water over each one. Reuse the rinse water to water your houseplants.
• Fill the sink with water to wash your dishes by hand, then rinse all of  the dishes at one time.

In the Garden...

•     Use a self-closing nozzle on you garden hose.
  
•     Water you plants and yarn in the evening or early morning.
  
•     Don't use water to clean sidewalks and driveways -- use a broom.
