Yesterday saw the highest water usage again for 2024 at over 31 Million Gallons!
While irrigating grasses is the largest discretionary (or non essential to life) use of water, there are certainly some ways you can conserve indoors as well. Small changes make a big difference when we work together!
Fix Leaks Promptly: Check faucets, toilets, and pipes regularly for leaks and repair them promptly. A small leak can waste significant amounts of water over time.
Install Water-Efficient Fixtures: Replace old toilets, showerheads, and faucets with WaterSense labeled fixtures. They use less water without sacrificing performance.
Take Shorter Showers: Aim for showers that last no longer than 5-10 minutes. Consider using a shower timer to help track your time.
Turn Off Taps: Don't let the water run unnecessarily. Turn off the tap while brushing teeth, shaving, or washing hands.
Use Dishwashers Efficiently: Wait until you have a full load before running the dishwasher. Also, use the eco-cycle if available.
Upgrade Appliances: Choose energy-efficient washing machines and dishwashers that use less water per cycle.
Reuse Water: Collect water from rinsing fruits and vegetables or waiting for hot water to use for watering plants or cleaning.
Insulate Pipes: Insulating hot water pipes reduces the time it takes for hot water to reach taps, saving water and energy.
Adjust Toilet Water Level: Make sure your toilet tank's water level is set correctly. It should be just below the overflow pipe.
Educate Household Members: Ensure everyone in your household is aware of the importance of water conservation and encourage them to follow these tips.
By implementing these indoor water conservation tips, you can significantly reduce your water usage and contribute to environmental sustainability.
