- (1) Dishwasher- Dishwashers is one of the ways we can waste water on accident if you run it when it is not full. A way to prevent this is by not using the dishwasher and hand wash the dishes. If you do need to use a dishwasher, make sure it is completely full before you turn it on.
- (2) Brushing Teeth / Washing Dishes WITH the Water Running- DO NOT keep water running while brushing your teeth/ doing the dishes. When you brush your teeth, wet the toothbrush first and turn the water off immediately. Only use the water to rinse. Same for dish washing. Scrub the dishes without the water on, and then turn the water on to rinse off the soap.
- (3) Car Wash-If you have a lawn, Wash your car on it! Only turn on the hose for the final rinse. Your car will be clean, your lawn will be fed, and by doing this you know you did a lot to help the environment.
- (4) Leaky Toilets / Leaky Faucets-If you notice a leaky pipe, faucet, or toilet, get it fixed immediately. A leaky toilet, for example, can waste up to 200 gallons of water a DAY. So please try to fix your water problems instead of waiting later.
- (5) Bathtime-Bathtime is no longer Fun-time. It wastes an unnecessary amount of water. An average shower uses 1/5 the amount of water that is needed for a bath! Teach kids to take showers early on. It all really adds up. So please, take a shower not a bath.
