Tips For Conserving Water Indoors
 
1. Install a low-flow pre-rinse spray valve  SprayValveBrochure.pdf
 
2. Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could  save 1000 gallons a month.
 
3. Use the garbage disposal sparingly, compost instead and save gallons every time.
 
4. Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks, so that every drop goes down you not the drain.
 
5. If your shower can fill a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 sconds, then replace it with a water-efficient showerhead.
 
6. Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes.  You'll save up to 1000 gallons a month.
 
7. Install low-volume toilets.
