WATER CONSERVATION :-
. Check for leaks in plumbing and toilets.
How? Turn off water throughout your house, check your water meter, and check back two hours later. If it has moved, something's leaking. Checking toilet leaks is even easier with a free Board of Water Supply test tablet.
. Install water-efficient plumbing fixtures.
A new toilet can save five gallons or more every flush. A new shower head can save up to five gallons every minute. An aerator on your kitchen faucet can save up to five gallons daily.
. Take shorter showers.
Every minute you trim from your shower saves three to six gallons of water. So get in and out a little faster, or pause the water while you lather, shave, or shampoo.
. Put a nozzle on your garden hose.
Left unattended, a running garden hose can waste over 100 gallons in just minutes. Use a shutoff or pressure nozzle, so you only use what you need when you're watering the plants, cleaning the house or washing the car.
. Don't let the faucet run and run.
Turn off the tap while brushing teeth or shaving. In the kitchen, us a dishpan for soapy water, and rinse with clean water quickly. Just imagine all that water running all over the counter or floor, instead of down the drain. That'll give you a hint at how much water you're accidentally wasting.
