HOW
TO CONSERVE WATER
Did
you know... A slow drip from a leaky faucet wastes 15 to 20 gallons
of water a day!?
It
is everyone's job to help conserve water. Just using a few simple
ideas can save many gallons of water every day. Multiply that by
the number of people in your family, the number of families in your
city, and the number of cities throughout the nation.
In
the Bathroom
- Don't
throw tissues or trash in the toilet. Every flush uses 6 gallons
of water.
- A
displacement device in the toilet will save water.
- Water
consumption in the tub and shower can be cut by taking shorter
showers (a shower uses 5 gallons per minute) and by not filling
the tub as full.
- Don't
leave the faucet running while brushing teeth or shaving. Faucets
also use 5 gallons a minute.
