You can save approximately ten gallons of water! <br />Throughout the week <br />Wash your clothes and dishes on full loads. <br />Use a shut-off nozzle on your hose, and water plants only when necessary. <br />A typical nozzle uses eight to ten gallons a minute. <br />• If your kids enjoy running through the sprinkler, consider meeting up with <br />other families to enjoy the fun and each other's company. Also, teaching <br />your kids how to turn off the sprinkler — at lunchtime, snack time, and <br />naptime — teaches them water awareness and conservation habits. <br />Seasonally <br />• Fix leaks around the house. Leaks quickly waste water — up to 20 gallons <br />a day — and your money if they are left unrepaired. <br />• If you are going out of town for the weekend, remember to turn off <br />your water. <br />Long-term <br />• If you are planning on replacing your washing machine, dishwasher, <br />showerheads, or faucet, purchase water -efficient models. They will <br />save thousands of gallons of water per year! <br />Incorporating these simple water conservation tips into our everyday life <br />will help us better conserve this precious resource and will keep more <br />water in the ground for the future! <br />
