Water Quality Report

• Keep a supply of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until cool enough to drink.
   
• Fill a drinking glass with enough water to brush your teeth instead of continuously running the faucet.
   
• Plug the sink to capture enough water for your shave instead of continuously running the water.
   
• Recycle instead of wasting it down a drain by watering your plants from a fishbowl or aquarium and from your pet's water dish when it's time to replenish their water.
   
• Fill the kitchen sink with a few gallons of water for dishwashing and then rinse all together to save approximately ten gallons.
   
• Repair all household leaks (inside and outside faucets, toilets, water heaters, hoses and washer connections) to save more than 11,000 gallons per year or enough to fill a backyard swimming pool!
• Water plants or lawn during the earliest and coolest part of the day.
   
• Have healthier plants by following their watering requirements and a lower water bill.
   
• Place sprinklers to only water lawns and gardens instead of the sidewalk or street.
   
• Soaker hoses or trickle irrigation works best for shrubs and trees.
   
• Timers on hoses or sprinklers give you better control of the amount of water usage
