Water Saving Measures for Homeowners
Water your lawn only when it needs it. Deep Soak the Lawn Rather Than Sprinkling Lightly which tends to evaporate quickly.
Water During the cool part of the day such as early morning. Don't Waste Water on Gutters, Driveways, and Sidewalks.
Put a Layer of Mulch Around Trees and Plants. Mulch will hold moisture longer and slow evaporation.
Use Automatic Dishwashers and Washing Machinse only with full loads.
Don't Let The Faucet Run when cleaning vegetables or Washing Dishes. Rinse them in a stoppered sink or pan or clean water. Similarly, don't let the water continuously run when brushing your teeth or shaving.
Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator. Running tap water to cool it off for drinking is wasteful.
Check faucets, pipes, and toilets for drips or leaks.
Install Water Saving Showerheads or Flow Restrictions.
