As individual citizens, we can do our part by conserving water.  Water is our most precious resource.

Listed below are ways that you can help conserve water!

• Turn off the water when you brush your teeth.  Just get a handful of water to rinse.
• Only use the dishwasher when you have a full load.  A dishwasher uses only 3 to 4 gallons of water, but if you wash dishes in the sink and let the water run in the process, you can waste 15 to 20 gallons.  Use the water-saving option if you have one on your dishwasher.
• If you wash dishes in the sink, rinse most of your items at one time and only use one sink of soapy water for washing.
• Fix leaky toilets and fixtures. If you are not sure if you have a leak, click here for a link to good information to diagnose what may be leaking.
• Replace your toilets with low-flow models and don't use the toilet as a disposal for trash.
• Replace dishwashers and washing machines with models that have reduced water consumption options, such as front-load washing machines.
• Replace showerheads with new options that reduce water output without sacrificing the quality of your shower. 
• Limit the time you are in the shower or take baths instead.  And do you really need that whole tub full of water?
• Make sure that no outside faucets or hoses are dripping or leaking.
