Conservation

Some ways you can help:

Take shorter showers. This is the No. 1 most effective thing we can do (indoors) to conserve.
Consider installing “low flow” plumbing, i.e., toilets, shower heads, etc. Also, replace any leaky or defective parts.
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving.
Never use the toilet as a wastebasket. Only human waste and toilet paper should go into the toilet — ever.
Run the washing machine only when full and adjust the water level setting carefully.
Stop or reduce outdoor watering.
