10 Tips to Save Water in Your Home

1.  Turn it Off – Turn off the faucet while brushing teeth or shaving, you can save about three gallons of water a minute
2.  Cut it Short – A five-minute shower or under can save you about 30 gallons of water a day
3.  Upgrade Old Toilets –  Replace your toilet with a WaterSenseⓇ labeled toilet
4.  Upgrade Appliances –  Replace older washing machines and dishwashers with water-efficient models
5.  Wash Full Loads Only –  Wash full loads of clothes & dishes; the average American household uses about 23% of its water in these washers
6.  Install a High-Efficiency Showerhead and Faucet Aerator – You could save about one gallon per minute.
7.  Fix It –  Check for leaks and fix them as soon as possible.
8.  Save the Rinse –  Don’t rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, this can use as much water as the dishwasher.
9.  Keep an Eye On It –  Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. A high water bill could mean there is a leak
10. Mellow Out –  If it’s yellow let it mellow and if it’s brown flush it down.
