12. Water Conservation Tips
Indoors
Outdoors
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.
Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.
Turn off the water while you wash your hair to save up to 150 gallons a month.
Wash your pets outdoors in an area of your lawn that needs water.
Throw trimmings and peelings from fruits and vegetables into your yard compost to prevent using the garbage disposal.
Keep a bucket in the shower to catch water as it warms up or runs. Use this water to flush toilets or water plants.
Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street
Spreading a layer of organic mulch around plants retains moisture and saves water, time and money.
Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and sidewalk and save water every time.
Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.
We're more likely to notice leaks indoors, but don't forget to check outdoor faucets, sprinklers and hoses.
Collect water from your roof to water your garden. (Rain Barrels)
