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.
