Conserving our natural resources is a growing concern and issue throughout the country and water conservation one of the topics at the top of the list. Here are a few tips for your consideration.
Indoor Water Conservation:
- Prevent water leaks; a 1/32 of an inch drip can waste more than 6,000 gallons of water each month.
- Check for toilet tank leaks by adding coffee to the tank, if the tank is leaking, the coffee color will appear in the bowl within 30 minutes.
- Take shorter showers, 10 minutes or less.
- Save water by shutting off faucet while brushing teeth or shaving.
- Operate dishwashers and washing machines when fully loaded.
- Purchase front-loading washing machines to save water and electricity.
Outdoor Water Conservation:
- Vegetation needs only ½ to ¾ inches of water twice
a week.
- Irrigate for no more than 40 minutes and no less than 20 minutes.
- Irrigate yards and lawns before 10:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m. to reduce fungus, disease and save water.
- Sweep, don’t hose down your driveway..
- Plant native vegetation to save on irrigation costs.
- Use a hose equipped with an automatic shutoff nozzle.
- Consider using a water-saving device on your swimming pool.
