Water Conservation Tips

When it comes to conserving water, there are lots of things you can do around your home to help contribute. A few small behavioral changes like turning off the water while you brush your teeth and only running the washing machine when you have a full load of laundry can really make a big difference. Want to start saving today? See below for a few tips:

In The Kitchen

Did you know that you can save up 20 gallons of water each by waiting until the dishwasher is full before turning it on? It may not sound like a lot, but it can add up! Nowadays, washing dishes by hand can actually waste more water as new technology has made dishwashers much more efficient.

In The Bathroom

There are several ways to save water in the bathroom. You should always turn the water off while you brush your teeth--there's no reason to keep it running while the toothbrush is in your mouth. Additionally, cutting down on shower time and replacing your old shower head with a low-flow model can drastically increase water savings. When it comes to the toilet, only flush sanitary waste. Toss beauty products, tissues and other common bathroom toiletries in the trash when you are finished. Want to learn more ways to save?
