Repair Leaky Faucets
In a year's time, a faucet leaking a drop per second can waste up to 650 gallons of water, and the energy to heat it. Repair leaky faucets as soon as you notice the leaks.


Use The Garbage Can
Instead of putting food down the garbage disposal, throw it in the garbage can. Doing this allows you to conserve the water that would have run while using the disposal.


Off-Hour Watering
You can get more bang for your buck if you water your plants and lawn early in the morning or later in the evening. This off-hour watering technique lessens evaporation, which equals fewer gallons of water used.


Capture Rain Water
Use captured rainwater for irrigation or other appropriate uses, and repair all leaks in irrigation systems. This tip will also help you lower your water bill each month.


Use The Car Wash
Bringing your car to a car wash will save gallons of water as compared to washing it at home. You can also try a waterless car wash!


Low Flow Showerheads
Install low-flow showerheads (those with a flow rate of less than 2.5 gallons per minute). The pressure will stay the same, but water use will decrease, saving water and energy costs.


Cover Your Pool
Refilling a pool or spa takes a lot of water! Be sure to cover your pool or spa when it is not in use to cut down on evaporation, which will lead to less frequent fill-ups, saving a lot of gallons over time.


Do You Have Weeds?
If you have weeds in your lawn and garden, take some time to pull them out of the ground. This will ensure that water gets to where it needs to go - the plants and lawn. Weeds will soak up a portion of the water, forcing you to water larger amounts more frequently.


Don’t Water The Sidewalk
Install moisture sensors on sprinkler systems, and set them to water the lawn or garden only—not the street or sidewalk. If possible, use soaker hoses and trickle irrigation systems.
