I am going to give you the top ten ways to save water, and money on the bill!

If you are able to reduce your monthly/yearly water consumption, you will be doing a great service to the planet, and generations to come.

The number one way to save water, is to educate others in your family, and community!

1 Take shorter showers, we all know when we are finished cleaning ourselves, and have started to enjoy the hot water, this is when its time to get out

2 Take showers instead of baths, Baths can use up to 100 gallons of water per bath, where as a shower will take 30 gallons max (this would be about 15 minutes worth of shower time!

3 Water gardens and plants with run off water from your roof instead of your hose, and stop throwing ice cubes away, put them in a plant if it falls on the floor, or give to a pet!

4 Do NOT wash your car, and if you absolutely must use this huge amount of water, do it on your lawn so that the excess goes to use!

5 Check for leaks, all faucets, and valves need to be checked, as well as toilets, an easy way to see if your toilet is leaking is to put a few drops of food coloring in the tank, and waiting to see if it leaches, or leaks into the bowl, if it does, you have a leak!

6 Grouping plants is a great way to cut water consumption from the sprinklers. Putting water loving plants together, and water hating plants together make it easy to sprinkle the lawn for a few short minutes effectivly.

7 Try bathing pets in left over, trapped shower water, instead of using 20-50 gallons for just the pets bath.

8 Do not let the water run when doing dishes or brushing your teeth, this can save you 100 dallons a month or more!

9 Try trapping water used to clean fruits and vegitables into a pan, and then using it to water plants, or pets around the house.

10 Know where your water main, and or cut off valve are located. In the event of an emergencie, you can turn the water off quickly instead of panicing while hundreds of gallons of water rush into the street, or even worse into your home!
