Consumer Conservation Tips - 100 Ways to Save Water
#1. There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.
#2. When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
#3. Evaporative coolers require a seasonal maintenance checkup. For more efficient cooling, check your evaporative cooler annually.
#4. Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
#5. Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save 1,000 gallons a month.
#6. Avoid planting turf in areas that are hard to water such as steep inclines and isolated strips along sidewalks and driveways.
#7. Install covers on pools and spas to avoid water evaporation.
#8. Use the garbage disposal less often.
#9. Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower.
#10. Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks.
