Remember that a little effort and a little common sense will make a big difference. Following these simple tips can save thousands of gallons every year in your household. So be alert. If you see water being wasted in your own home, tighten up. If you see it being wasted anywhere else, speak up.
Every drop counts.
Check for leaks. A leaky commode can waste more than 50 gallons a day. Place a little food coloring in your toilet tank and if it seeps down to the bowl you could have a leak. Don't use your toilet as a wastebasket or ashtray. Use a full basin for your shave and a quick rinse for your teeth.
