BATHROOM

• Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save four gallons a minute. That's 200 gallons each week for a family of four which averages out to $3.61/month
• Turn off the water while shaving. Fill the bottom of the sink with a few inches of water to rinse your razor. Saves three gallons each day.
• Drop that tissue in the trash instead of flushing it down the toilet and save gallons of water every time.
• Before you lather up, install a low-flow showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you and your family more than 500 gallons a week which averages out to $9.05/month
• Shorten your showers to five minutes. Wash, lather, and rinse! This will help you reduce and save up to 700 gallons of water a month which averages out to $3.17/month

       KITCHEN

• When washing dishes by hand, use the least amount of detergent possible. This minimizes rinse water needed.
• Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables. Rinse them in a filled sink or pan.
• Don't defrost frozen foods with running water. Either plan ahead by placing frozen items in the refrigerator overnight or defrost them in the microwave.
• Use the garbage disposal less and the garbage can more.

       LAUNDRY

• Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save up to 1000 gallons which averages out to $4.52/month.

       FRONT & BACK YARD

• Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
• Choose water-efficient drip irrigation for your trees, shrubs, and flowers.
• Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and sidewalk.
• Always water during the early morning hours, when temperatures are cooler, to minimize evaporation.
