What
can I do at home?
Because our
fresh water resources are limited, water should be used
wisely - particularly during the dry season.
- Turn off
water while brushing your teeth. Savings: up to 3 gallons
of water per minute.
- Ensure
water is turned off after washing your hands. Savings:
up to 3 gallons of water per minute.
- Install
water-saving showerheads or flow restrictors. Savings:
up to 75% per shower.
- Wait until
you have a full load before using your automatic washing
machine or dishwasher. Savings: up to 33 gallons.
- Detect
leaks in your pipes. A leaky pipe can add $30 to your
bi-monthly water bill.
- Xeriscape.
Plant foliage that does not require a lot of water.
Savings: 30% to 80% in water consumption.
