10 Simple Ways To Conserve Water!

1.) Don't let water run while washing hands.


2.) Don't allow water to run while cleaning the dishing, if doing them by hand.


3.) Adjust sprinklers so it is only for the lawn and not going off into the sidewalk or other parts of the house etc.


4.) Have a  huge glass jar full of cold water, and keep it in the fridge, this way you can use it and not waste water by running tap water every time you want a nice, cold, glass of water.


5.) Water that you use to clean fruits/vegetables, you can reuse this water and use it to water your plants inside/outside.


6.) Shorten your shower by 1 or 2 minutes!


7.) Check if you have a leak in your toilet, if you do, this could save up to 1,000 gallons of water a year!!


8.) Don't use running water to thaw food,  place into a large container that you can fill up with water, let sit for however long time period is needed for the food.


9.) TURN off faucet after use!


10.) Turn off water while brushing teeth for 25 secs. save 25 gallons a month!
