5 Effective Water Conservation Tips for Homeowners

1. Fix leaks: A single leaky faucet can waste up to 20 gallons of water per day. Check for and repair any leaks in faucets, pipes, and toilets.

2. Water your lawn less frequently: Overwatering your lawn can waste a lot of water. Instead, water your lawn deeply and less frequently.

3. Use a rain barrel: Collect rainwater in a rain barrel and use it to water plants, wash your car, or clean your windows.

4. Take shorter showers: A 5-minute shower can save up to 25 gallons of water compared to a 10-minute shower.

5. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving: Leaving the water running while brushing your teeth or shaving can waste a lot of water. Instead, turn off the water while you're not using it.
