Here are tips for conserving water inside and outside the home:
Run dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are full. If you have a water-saver cycle, use it.
Regularly check your toilet, faucets, and pipes for leaks.
Consider water and energy-efficient appliances. Products and services that have earned the Water Sense label have been certified to be at least 20% more efficient while maintaining performance.
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes in the sink.
Water your lawn only when it needs it. When you do, water in the early morning or evening to reduce evaporation.
Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your sidewalk, driveway or patio.
Set up a rain barrel to be ready to repurpose rain when it does fall.
