WATER CONSERVATION TIPS
Everyone wants to help conserve valuable resources, and water is one of our most valuable. We can’t live without it. Follow these simple suggestions and you’ll be water wise, not wasteful:
- Check every faucet in your home for leaks. Just a slow drip can waste 15 to 20 gallons of water a day; almost 6,000 gallons a year.
- Put a bit of food color in each toilet tank. Without flushing, watch for a few minutes to see if the color shows up in the bowl. It’s not uncommon to lose up to 100 gallons a day from one of these otherwise invisible toilet leaks.
- Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator. This beats the wasteful habit of running tap water to cool it for drinking and saves 200-300 gallons a month.
- If you have a pool, use a pool cover to cut down on evaporation. It will also keep your pool cleaner and reduce the need to add chemicals while saving 1,000 gallons a month.
- Water your lawn during the cool parts of the day. Early morning is better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus. Don’t water the lawn on windy days; there’s too much evaporation and you can waste up to 300 gallons in one watering. Set lawn mower blades one notch higher; longer grass means less evaporation while saving 500 to 1,500 gallons each month.
