10 Tips on How to Cut Back on Water Usage
- Don’t let faucets run when brushing your teeth, washing your face, or shaving. A total of 5 gallons of
water can be wasted in as little as two minutes. - Wait until you have a full load before running the washing machine or dishwasher.
- Install water saving shower-heads and faucets.
- Take shorter showers –keep your shower under 5 minutes to save 1000 gallons of water a month.
- If you prefer baths, close the drain first and adjust the water temperature while the tub is filling up.
- Water your lawn and plants early in the day when there is less evaporation.

- Insulate your water pipes.
- Keep a bucket in your shower area to collect runoff water and use it for houseplants or gardens.

Water Filters
Water filtration and treatment products can help provide you and your family with cleaner, better tasting water. Whole house systems can handle all incoming water to your home, drinking water systems provide better than bottled water – at much less cost, and point-of-use filters and specialty filters are available for commercial applications. These systems and cartridges address particular needs such as taste/odor, dirt/rust, sediment, scale, and iron. See what a difference installing a water filtration system can make to your water quality.
