Water
Do Your Part to Conserve
Do Your Part to Conserve
What can you do to save water?
Bathroom
Take a shower instead of a bath
Install a low flow shower head
If no shower is available reduce the water level in the tub by a few inches
Install a low flow toilet
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth
Hold hot water in the basin when shaving instead of letting the water run
Add a few drops of food color to the tank of the toilet. If the color transfers to the bowl before you flush replace the flapper

Kitchen
Place a stopper in the sink to rinse pots and pans rather than running the water the entire time
Only run the dishwasher with a full load
Use the disposal just for small scraps
Use a small pan of cold water when cleaning vegetables instead of running water

Laundry
Wash only a full load of laundry
Use the lowest water setting for light loads

Appliances and Plumbing
Check all water line connections. A small drip can waste up to 170 gallons of water a day or 5,000 G=gallons a month
Replace faucet washers to correct faucet drips
Insulate all hot water lines to avoid delays and wasted water while waiting for the hot water to get to the faucet
Do not set the hot water thermostat too high, as it requires adding cold water to make it usable.

Outdoor Uses
Water lawns early in the morning
Use a sprinkler that produces large drops of water instead of a fine mist
Water slowly for better absorption
Avoid watering on windy days
Do not water sidewalks, streets or driveways
Condition the soil with compost before planting so that water will soak in and not run off
Do not over water. An inch and a half of water weekly will keep most Texas grasses alive
Set automatic sprinklers to water in the middle of the night when demand is at it lowest
Do not scalp lawns when mowing
Use a bucket of soapy water when washing the car and use the hose only for rinsing
