Water conservation measures are an important first step in protecting our water supply. Such measures not only save the supply of our source water but can also save you money by reducing your water bill. Here are a few suggestions:

 
  •  Fix leaking faucets, pipes, toilets, etc.
  •  Wash only full loads of laundry.
  •  Do not use the toilet for trash disposal.
  •  Do not let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth.
  •  Run the dishwasher only when full.
  •  Install water-saving devices in faucets, toilets, and appliances.
  •  Take shorter showers.
  •  Water the lawn and garden in the early morning or evening.
  •  Use mulch around plants and shrubs.
