DO install water-saving toilets, showerheads and faucets or use a plastic bottle filled with water in your toilet tank. DO repair leaky faucets and turn taps off lightly. A slow drip wastes 15 to 20 gallons a day. DO run dishwasher and washing machine only when full. DON'T run the water while shaving, washing your hands or brushing your teeth.
Faucets use two to three gallons a minute.
DON'T use a toilet as a wastebasket or flush unnecessarily. DON'T open fire hydrants without using a spray cap. Spray caps can be obtained at a local fire house. DON'T run water to make it cold. Use the refrigerator to make it chilled.
