Water conservation tips

  1. Replace shower heads and faucet aerators with high efficiency models.
  2. Think before you flush! Flushing items like wipes, dental floss, and feminine hygiene products can clog pipes, damage wastewater treatment systems, and waste thousands of gallons of water.
  3. Use leak-free, high efficiency toilets. More information at the EPA website
  4. Test your toilet for silent leaks. Place a few drops of food coloring or a leak detection dye strip in your toilet tank. Do not flush. Wait 20 minutes. If the water in the toilet turns blue without flushing, you have a leak.
  5. Fix leaks. Repair leaky faucets, toilets and pipes promptly. Even small leaks can waste gallons of water in a short period of time.
  6. Use a timer on your outdoor hose bib when watering.
  7. Use a garden hose nozzle that automatically shuts off when not in use.
  8. Moisture meters in potted plants can help determine when they need watering.
  9. Turn off the tap. Don’t run water while shaving, brushing your teeth, washing your hands, or cleaning dishes or vegetables. Fill a basin with water when cleaning either vegetables or dishes. Soak pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape them clean.
  10. Use the dishwasher for full loads of dishes. Dishwashers typically use less water than hand-washing dishes. Newer dishwashers are water-efficient and clean more thoroughly, so dishes require less rinsing.
  11. Check your laundry settings. Wash full loads in your washing machine when possible. Use appropriate water-level adjustment or load-size selection settings on the washing machine
  12. Opt for short showers. Take short showers instead of baths. For baths, plug the drain immediately and adjust the water temperature as you fill the tub.
  13. Keep cold water ready. Store drinking water in the refrigerator to avoid running the tap for cool water.
  14. Sweep, don’t hose. Use a broom instead of a hose for outdoor cleaning.
  15. Plant a WaterWise garden.
  16. Monitor water usage. Once you’ve received your new Connect Up meter, you can view your water usage online.
