Use Water Wisely In the
Bathroom
About 75% of the water you
consume each day is used in the bathroom.
|
| |
| |
 |
Look
for and fix leaky toilets, dripping faucets and shower heads, and other
plumbing fixtures. Even
tiny drips can waste gallons
and gallons each day.
|
|
|
 |
Don’t
use the toilet as a trash can. You
waste gallons of water with each extra flush.
|
|
|
 |
Turn
off the faucet while you brush your teeth, shave, or wash your face. You can save four to ten gallons of water per day.
|
|
|
 |
Take
shorter showers. You can
conserve five to 10 gallons per minute.
|
|
|
 |
Install
low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators.
The showerheads can save 20 to 30 gallons of water during a
10-minute shower. A
low-flow aerator reduces flow by about 25 percent.
|
|
|
 |
Fill
your bathtub only half-way. You
can save up to 25 gallons
per bath.
