Take a Short Shower

It might take 25 gallons of hot water to fill the bathtub, compared to only 7 gallons for a quick shower. Remember always 5 minutes or less is the best.

Watch the Toilet Flush

Never use the toilet to dispose of cleansing tissues, cigarette butts, or other trash. This wastes a great deal of water and also places an unnecessary load on the sewage treatment plant or septic tank. One quarter of all clean water that enters home is used to flush toilets.

Fix the Dripping Faucet

One drop per second can add up to 165 gallons of water a month - that's more than one person uses in two weeks! This applies to any leaks too.

Don’t Go with the Flow

When brushing teeth, shaving, washing hands, and shampooing don’t run down the water. Faucets use 2 to 3 gallons a minute. Brushing your teeth with the tap running uses around 4 gallons, while brushing with the tap off uses around 0.25 gallons.

Water it Earlier or Later

Water your yard and outdoor plants early or late in the day to reduce evaporation. Use a dripping system to water the plants efficiently or simply install a shut-off nozzle on your hose.

Think Aerators

Install water-saving toilets, showerheads and faucet aerators. This will save the flow of water and will cut consumption up to 50 %.

Fill the Sink

Turn off sink faucet while scrubbing dishes and utensils. Kitchen faucets use 2 to 3 gallons a minute. Filling a sink only takes around 10 gallons to wash and rinse.
