There are many ways for tenants and owners to conserve water everyday at home. Here are a few tips to help us all do our part:
- Check all your faucets and pipes for leaks
- Install faucet aerators
- Don’t use the toilet as a trash can, each flush wastes 5 gallons of water
- Water your plants in the morning
- Shorten your shower, cutting two minutes can save 150 gallons a month
- Leave clippings on the lawn – loose clippings help grass hold in moisture
- Cook in as little water as possible – this also helps retain nutrients
- Scrape dishes rather than rinsing
- Turn off automatic water systems when not needed
- Use recirculating pumps for any fountains, pools, ponds, etc.
