General Outdoor Conservation Tips

• When washing your car with a hose, always use a spray nozzle to stop water flow between rinsings
• Clean driveways and sidewalks with a broom instead of a hose
• Check for leaks in outdoor faucets, pipes and hoses, repairing any leaks promptly
• Cover your pool or spa to reduce evaporation
• Check for pool/spa leaks, making repairs promptly

Saving Water Inside Your Home

• Repair leaking faucets and toilets
• Install water-saver flush valves in toilets
• Install water-saver shower heads
• Take short showers
• Turn off the water while brushing your teeth or shaving
• Wash only full loads in dishwasher and clothes washer
• Recycle water rather than pouring it down the drain (For instance, used water from a fish tank is good for watering plants)
• Don't flush the toilet just to get rid of trash
• Use the garbage disposal sparingly
• When you wash dishes by hand, fill up the sink with water and turn off the faucet
