Additional Water and Energy Conservation Tips
- Do not let the water run while washing dishes, brushing teeth, or shaving.
- Only wash full loads of dishes in the dishwasher or clothes in the washing machine. When possible, use the shortest cycles and cold water, so that the energy consumed for heating water is saved.
- Unplug electrical appliances when they are not in use.
- Use the garbage disposal sparingly; garbage disposals require lots of water to operate properly. Also, solids can add to maintenance problems in septic tanks.
- Recycle your water when you can. Use it for other things such as watering a plant or garden.
