TIPS
           
            -    When looking for new appliances, look for the EnergyStar logo
            -    Make sure that your faucet is closed tightly and that leaks are addressed.
               -        Put a timer or set an alarm in the bathroom to track the length of your showers.
                -    Use a bucket to save the cool water as you wait for your shower to heat up.  You can use this water for your plants.
                -    Low flow aerators are useful for faucets to produce the same amount of water pressure while using less water.

TIPS

  1. Avoid littering.  What you drop on the ground can find its way into our water supply.
  2. Use reusable water bottles and filtered tap water rather than buying bottled water when possible.
