• Check household faucets for leaks. A faucet with even a slow drip takes 10 to 25 gallons of water. Just think, 15 drips per minute add up to almost 3 gallons of water wasted per day, 65 gallons wasted per month, and 788 gallons wasted per year!


• Keep showers to 5 minutes or less in length. A five-minute shower takes 10 to 25 gallons of water.


• Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator. Then you won't have to run tap water to cool it.


• Use a broom to sweep your driveway, garage, or sidewalk instead of using water.


• Use a bucket of water to wash your bike or the family car and rinse quickly with a hose.


• Water your lawn in the evening or in the early morning to avoid evaporation. Be careful to water only the lawn and not the sidewalk or street.


• Use water only when you need it. Don't leave water running; be sure to turn it off when you are finished.
