Top 6 Facts to conserve water:

 Don't use the toilet as an ashtray or wastebasket  Every time you flush a cigarette butt, facial tissue or other small bit of trash, five to seven gallons of water is wasted. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Check your toilets for leaks <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Put a little food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, the color begins to appear in the bowl within 30 minutes, you have a leak that should be repaired immediately. Most replacement parts are inexpensive and easy to install. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Use your water meter to check for hidden water leaks <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Read the house water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter does not read exactly the same, there is a leak. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Inexpensive water-saving low-flow shower heads or restrictors are easy for the homeowner to install. Also, long, hot showers can use five to ten gallons every unneeded minute. Limit your showers to the time it takes to soap up, wash down and rinse off. "Low-flow" means it uses less than 2.5 gallons per minute. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> You can easily install a Shower Start showerhead, or add a Shower Start converter to existing showerheads, which automatically pauses a running shower once it gets warm. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Also, all household faucets should be fit with aerators. This single best home water conservation method is also the cheapest! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Put plastic bottles or float booster in your toilet tank <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> To cut down on water waste, put an inch or two of sand or pebbles inside each of two plastic bottles to weigh them down. Fill the bottles with water, screw the lids on, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from the operating mechanisms. Or, buy an inexpensive tank bank or float booster. This may save ten or more gallons of water per day. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Be sure at least 3 gallons of water remain in the tank so it will flush properly. If there is not enough water to get a proper flush, users will hold the lever down too long or do multiple flushes to get rid of waste. Two flushing’s at 1.4 gallons is worse than a single 2.0 gallon flush. A better suggestion would be to buy an adjustable toilet flapper that allow for adjustment of their per flush use. Then the user can adjust the flush rate to the minimum per flush setting.
