Water-Saving Practices

Replace Your Old Appliances

Many older appliances use substantially more water than newer ones that save water and electricity. While upgrading an appliance might be costly, investing in water-efficient equipment can save you money on your water bill. Even minor changes, such as low-flow showerheads, can still help save a lot of water.

Take Shorter Showers

Did you know that your shower can use up to ten gallons of water every minute? Shorten the time you spend in the shower each day to no more than five minutes or switch off the water between rinses to save water while bathing.

Use Your Dishwasher 

Hand washing your dishes is not as environmentally friendly as some would think. To be an efficient water saver, use your dishwasher and ensure it is fully loaded. To save even more on water, skip rinsing the dishes and go straight to the washing setting on your machine. 

There are alternatives to saving water even if you do not own a dishwasher. Rather than letting the water run while you hand wash the dishes, fill the sink with enough water, use environmentally friendly dish soap, and — more importantly — switch the faucet off. Only turn it back on for rinsing. 

Other methods that should be practiced to save water include:

• Not letting the faucet run when you brush your teeth
• Reducing toilet flushing
• Watering your lawn once a week, either in the morning or evening, to avoid quick evaporation.
• Repairing any leaky faucets in your home
• Replacing wasteful water systems with modern, water-saving fixtures.
