   What
\nyou can do to get started…. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

1.
\nTo discover whether your system has leaks, check your water
\nmeter while no water is being used. Your water meter can usually
\nbe found in a covered concrete or plastic box in front of your
\nresidence near the curb. If the dial moves, you have a leak.
\nAt the water pressure found in most household plumbing systems,
\nthe leak from a 1\/32″ opening in a faucet or pipe can waste
\nup to 6,000 gallons of water per month. A steady drip wastes
\n20 gallons per day. <\/font><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/font>2.
\nInstall low-flow faucet aerators on all of your faucets. Your
\nwater now will seem stronger, but you’ll actually be saving water
\nwhile reducing flow as much as 50%. <\/font><\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>3.
\nCheck toilets for leaks by adding food coloring to the toilet
\ntank. If color appears in the bowl, without flushing, there
\nis a leak that requires immediate attention. A leaking toilet
\ncan waste 200 gallons of water a day without making a sound.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

4.
\nFlush only when necessary. Avoid using the toilet as a wastebasket,
\neach flush uses about 6 gallons of water. If remodeling
\nor building, buy water-saver toilets, the best of which
\nuse only 1 1\/2 gallons of water per flush. <\/font><\/p>\n

5.
\nPlace one or two half-gallon plastic bottles in your toilet
\ntank to reduce water used for each flush.<\/font><\/td>\n

6.
\nThink before you bathe. A shower or a bath? Only the shortest
\nshower saves more water than a partially-filled tub. A full
\ntub, however, can use 30-50 gallons of water – more than
\na short shower. Consider bathing small children together.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

7.
\nInstall water-saving shower heads or flow restrictors. They
\nare inexpensive and reduce flow by at least 25%. Shower
\nheads with an on-off valve are also available, allowing
\nthe water flow to be stopped and restarted without having
\nto readjust the temperature. <\/font><\/p>\n

8.
\nDon’t let the water run in the sink while shaving, brushing
\nyour teeth, or lathering your face and hands.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
