10 EASY WATER
CONSERVATION TIPS
1 Water your yard thoroughly, but
only as needed – usually no
more than 1 inch, once a week.
2 Use drip irrigation for plants
and gardens, and water early in
the morning to minimize
evaporation.
3 Collect rainwater for landscape
use – it is great for the plants,
and can save you water and
money.
4 Install aerators to cut in half the
amount of water used by each
faucet.
5 Fix faucet leaks, which can
waste up to 3,000 gallons of
water a year.
6 Install water-efficient plumbing
fixtures to reduce water
consumption by 25% to 60% and
save energy.
7 Check your toilet by using a
leak-detection dye tablet. Leaks
can waste up to 200 gallons of
water a day.
8 Replace older toilets with water-
efficient models and save up to
4,000 gallons of water a year.
9 Wash only full loads of laundry
– an average household can
save more than 3,400 gallons of
water each year.
10 Invest in an Energy Star-
qualified clothes washer, which
typically uses 50% less water
and 37% less energy per load.
