Ways To Conserve On Water

• You can install an aerator on your faucet at a very small fee, which will regulate the water that comes out of the faucet.
• You can turn the water off while shampooing your hair and back on to rinse it rather than leaving it on all the time.
• Turn the water off while brushing your teeth.
• Immediately repair any drips or leaks you may have.
• Check all toilets to be sure they shut off properly.
• Check all yard and garden hoses to make sure no leaking occurs.
