In The House:
- Install faucet aerators (available free from most water providers) & efficient showerheads.
- Turn off the water while brushing teeth and shaving.
- If you still do dishes the old fashioned way (yourself) fill the sink with water for washing, then refill the sink with clean water for rinsing. If you let the dishwasher do the work, make sure it’s full before turning it on.
Outside:
- Use native plants that don’t need too much water.
- Use mulch – it traps moisture and adds nutrients!
- Water in the evening or early morning. See if your community has a tool similar to Turf-Time – that tells you exactly how much water your lawn needs based on current weather, temperature and humidity.
