Inside The Home

• Check the toilet for leaks by adding drops of food colouring to the tank, wait 15 minutes, if you see colour in the bowl the toilet is leaking
• Avoid using the toilet for items that can simply go in the trash 
• Replace your shower head with a water-efficient model and/or take shorter showers 
• Wash full loads of clothes and dishes or change the setting on the washer for a partial load
• Replace any leaking faucets in the house

Yard and Garden

• Do not overwater your lawn. Most lawns only need about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water per week

• Do not cut your lawn too short, a 3-4 inch cut will allow it to develop a deeper root system and shades the soil

• The best time to water your lawn and garden is in the early morning

• Adjust your sprinkler so that you are not watering the street, sidewalk or driveway

• Cover your pool to reduce evaporation
