Water Saving Tips Inside the Home

• Turn the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
  Use a glass of water for rinsing your teeth.
• When shaving, use a sink filled with rinse water.
  Do not let the faucet flow.
• Take short showers instead of baths and consider
  bathing small children together.
• Do not use the toilet as a trash can.
• If the shower has a single hand control or shut off valve,
  turn off the flow while soaping or shampooing.
• Refrigerate a bottle of drinking water instead of letting
  a faucet flow until the water is cold enough to drink.
• Turn the faucet off while cleaning vegetables. Rinse
  them in the sink with the drain closed or in a pan of water.
• If you wash dishes by hand, do not leave the faucet
  flowing for rinsing. Instead, use a dish rack and spray
  device to rinse them. If you have two sinks, fill one with
  soapy water and one with rinse water.
• Fill the sink with water to pre-rinse dishes before putting
  them in the dishwasher.
  
  Water Saving Tips Outside the Home

• Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways,
  steps and sidewalks.
• Wash the car with water from a bucket. If a hose is used,
  control the flow with an automatic shut off nozzle.
• Water the lawn only when needed. If grass does not spring
  back after walking on it, it probably needs water.
• Water the lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day.
  Do not water on windy days.
• Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only.
  Do not water the street or sidewalk
• Use soaker hoses and trickle irrigation systems to reduce
  the amount of water used for irrigation by 20 to 50 percent.
• Use mulch around shrubs and garden plants to reduce
  evaporation from the soil surface and cut down on weed growth.
• In landscaping, use native plants that require less care
  and water than ornamental varieties.
• Cover the swimming pool to prevent evaporation.
• Adjust the lawn mower to a higher setting to provide natural
  ground shade and to promote water retention by the soil.
