💧 Water Conservation Tips
Shorter Showers
Reducing a 10-minute shower to 5 minutes can save up to 12.5 gallons with a 2.5 GPM showerhead.
Fix Leaks
A leaky faucet dripping once per second wastes 3,000 gallons per year - fix leaks promptly.
Efficient Irrigation
Water plants in early morning or evening to reduce evaporation losses by up to 30%.
Low-Flow Fixtures
Installing WaterSense labeled fixtures can reduce water use by 20% or more.
Efficient Dishwashing
Running a full dishwasher is typically more water-efficient than hand washing dishes.
Water Awareness
Track your water usage - awareness is the first step to meaningful conservation.
