General Water Saving Tips
Take
a quick shower rather than a bath and save an average of 20
gallons (76 liters) of water.
Install
an energy-efficient showerhead with a flow rate of less than 2.0 gallons
per minute. (Replace an existing shower head if a one gallon bucket placed
under the flow takes less than 20 seconds to fill.)
Install 0.5-gpm faucet
aerators on your kitchen and bathroom faucets to reduce indoor water
use by as much as 4%.
Turn
off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving and save more than
5 gallons (19 liters) per day.
Clean vegetables in a sink or pan partially filled
with water rather than running water from the tap.
Re-use
the water that vegetables are washed in for watering houseplants or for
cleaning.
If
you wash dishes by hand, rinse them in a sink partially filled with clean
water instead of under running water.
Instead
of waiting for tap water to get cold enough for drinking, keep a bottle
of water in the refrigerator.
Whenever
possible, compost food scraps or dispose of them in the garbage rather
than using the garbage disposal which requires a high level of water
for operation.
