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.
