Be Wise About Water: Water Saving Tips

[mistysangels]

 

• Use a broom instead of a hose to clear your driveway.
• Your lawn only needs .5 to 1.5 inches of water per week, so use an empty tuna can to measure when you've reached the limit.
• Air drying uses 15 to 50 percent less energy in practically the same amount of time, so use your dishwasher's air-dry setting instead of the heat-dry option. If it doesn't have an air-dry setting, simply open the door once the final rinse is complete.

Fast Fact: If each U.S. household installed one low-flow sink faucet or aerator, it would save more than 60 billion gallons of water annually
