Water Conservation

If you water your grass and trees more heavily, but less often, this saves water and builds stronger roots.
- Water during the coolest part of the day to lessen the impact of evaporation.
- On average, lawns require only 0.25 inches of water per day or 1.25 inches of water per week in warm weather
An automatic dishwasher uses 9 to 12 gallons of water while hand washing dishes can use up to 20 gallons, and make sure the dishwasher is full.
Install a high-efficiency clothes washer, and make sure the washer is full.
Put a bucket in the shower while you're waiting for the water to warm up,and use the water you catch for watering plants, flushing the toilet or cleaning.
Spend less time in the shower.
Install a low-flow showerhead. A low-flow showerhead typically uses 12.5 gallons or less during an average 5-minute shower.
Install a high-efficiency toilet.
Let pee be – only flush #2.
Proper household maintenance (faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, etc.) will reduce leaks.
