Water Wise

Use water wisely and save money as well. Every drop you save counts :)
These top tips are easy to practice!
1. Run your dishwasher or washing machine only when it is full.
2. Wash your vegetables and fruits in a bowl of water instead of under running tap. The bowl of water may also be used to water your houseplants after.
3. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, washing your face, doing the dishes, etc to prevent wastage of water unnecessary.
4. Avoid running your tap at full blast; only turn on enough to minimize the flow of water to complete the tasks at hand.
5. Don't wash your car daily....and when you do wash your car, use a bucket instead of running hose.
6. Check for water leakage from your taps.
7. Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation. Better yet, use recycle water from washing for watering your plants.
8. Shorten your shower to under 5 minutes.
9. Use one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on the number of glasses to wash, thus saving water!
10. Stop throwing away so many batteries. The mercury in old batteries will eventually leak out and poison the water it runs into. What can you do? Buy rechargeable alkaline batteries. They can be charged 25 times. That means 25 batteries you didn't have to buy and throw away.
