LEAKS

In the Kitchen:

· Never run a dishwasher without a full load.  This practice will save water, energy, detergent, and money

· Use a small pan of cold water when cleaning vegetables, rather than letting the water run over them

· Keep container of drinking water in the refrigerator.  Running water from the tap until it is cool is wasteful.. Better  yet, both water and energy can be saved by keeping cold water in a picnic jug on a kitchen counter to avoid opening the refrigerator door frequently

In the Bathroom:

· When brushing teeth, turn the water off until it is time to rinse.

· When shaving, fill the lavatory basin with hot water instead of letting the  water run continuously

· When building a new home or remodeling a bathroom, install a new low-volume flush toilet that uses only 1.6 gallons per flush.

Outdoor Use:

· Do not scalp lawns when mowing during hot weather.  Taller grass holds moisture better.

· Don’t sweep walks and driveways with the hose.  Use a broom or rake instead

· When washing the car, use a bucket of soapy water and turn on the hose only for rinsing.
