Water conservation tips
There are a number of resources dedicated to providing useful water-saving tips, and we've listed just a few of those sites, below. In the meantime, please do your part by following these basics:
- Shorten your showers.
- Run full loads in the laundry or dishwashing machines.
- Turn off the water when brushing your teeth, soaping your hands, shaving, and washing dishes.
- Don't let dishes sit out, since dishes with dried-on food are harder to wash.
- Use reused dishwater to water indoor and outdoor plants.
