Here are a few samples
#1. Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
#2. Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
#3. Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.
#4. Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.
#5. Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste instead and save gallons every time.
#7. Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.
#8. Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.
#9. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of running water from the tap.
