To Save on Some of These Water Uses Everyday
- Use brooms to sweep the sidewalk, not a water hose.
- Position sprinklers so they only water the lawn, not the sidewalk.
- Toilets are the biggest water-wasters. Low-flush or air-assisted toilets cut toilet water up to 90%, or put a brick in your tank!
- Turn off water while you are brushing your teeth, washing your hands or even scraping dishes.
