Conserving water

Conserving water is good for the environment as well as your pocketbook. To help conserve water follow these tips:
• Don’t use the toilet as a wastebasket. Every flush you eliminate saves between two and seven gallons of water.
• Test toilet tanks for leaks by placing a few drops of food coloring into the tank. If it’s leaking the coloring will appear in the bowl without flushing.
• If you don’t have a low flow toilet, use plastic bottles filled with water and pebbles to displace water in the tank. Be sure not to obstruct the float and never use bricks.
• Don’t run the water while brushing your teeth or shaving.
