Conserving water is good for the environment as well as your pocketbook. To help conserve water follow these tips:

• Don’t use the toilet as a wastebasket. Every flush you eliminate saves between 2 - 4 gallons of water.
  
• Test toilet tanks for leaks by placing a few drops of food coloring into the tank. If it’s leaking the coloring will appear in the bowl without flushing.
  
• If you don’t have a low flow toilet, use plastic bottles filled with water and pebbles to displace water in the tank. Be sure not to obstruct the float.
  
• Don’t run the water while brushing your teeth or shaving.
  
• Match your washing machine’s load selector to your load size. Try to wash only full loads and use cold water to save energy.
  
• Limit dishwasher use to full loads.
  
• Choose a car wash that uses recycled water. At home wash you car in small sections and use a shut off nozzle on your hose.
  
• Replacing an old shower head can save up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute without sacrificing spray action or high water pressure.
