Conserving water is good for the environment as well as your pockets. To help conserve water follow these tips: Don't use the toilet as a wastebasket. Every flush you eliminate saves between two and seven gallons of water. If you don't have a low flow toilet, use plastic bottles filled with water and pebbles to displace water in the tank. Be sure not to obstruct the float and never use bricks. Don't run the water while brushing your teeth or shaving. Match your washing machine's load selector to your load size. Try to wash only full loads and use cold water to save energy. Limit diswasher use to full loads. Choose a car wash that uses recycled water. At home wash your car in small sections and use a shut off nozzle on your hose. Replacing an old shower head can save up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute without sacrificing spray action or high water pressure.
