Conserve Water this Summer

The summer is here and everyone is using more water to keep their lawns looking fresh. Here are a few ways to balance your water usage and conserve water inside your home:

• Turning off the water while your brush your teeth can save 4 gallons of water a minute. That's 200 gallons a week for a family of four!
• Turning off the water while you shave can save more than 100 gallons of water a week.
• Fixing a leak can save 500 gallons of water each month.
• Every toilet flush you eliminate can save between two and seven gallons of water.
• Taking showers instead of baths can save 30 gallons of water. (Filling up the bathtub uses about 50 gallons of water!)
• Keeping your shower under 5 minutes can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
• Using a water-saving shower head can save your family 500 gallons a week.
