SAVE SAVE WATERWATER

• TURN OFF THE TAP!

• TAKE SHORT SHOWERS

• FIX THAT LEAK

•Never put water down the drain when there may be another use for it such as watering a plant or garden, or cleaning.

• Verify that your home is leak-free, because many homes have hidden water leaks. Read your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak.

• Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. If your faucet is dripping at the rate of one drop per second, you can expect to waste 2,700 gallons per year which will add to the cost of water and sewer utilities, or strain your septic system.

• Water lawns during the early morning hours when temperatures and wind speed are the lowest. This reduces losses from evaporation.

•Don't water your street, driveway or sidewalk. Position your sprinklers so that your water lands on the lawn and shrubs ... not the paved areas.

• Install sprinklers that are the most water-efficient for each use. Micro and drip irrigation and soaker hoses are examples of water-efficient methods of irrigation.

• Did you know that less than 1% of all the water on Earth can be used by people? The rest is salt water or is permanently frozen and we can't drink it, wash with it, or use it to water plants.

• As our population grows, more and more people are using up this limited resource. Therefore, it is important that we use our water wisely and NOT WASTE IT!

DON’T LOSE TIME, SAVE WATER!!
