- 8 Ways to Save Water
- #1 There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you.
- #2 When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
- #3 Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings.
- #4 Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
- #5 Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
- #6 Choose shrubs and ground-covers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.
- #7 Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.
- #8 For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every drop goes down you and not the drain.
