Water Saving Tips for Homeowners
These ideas could save 50% or more of a household’s water usage.
- Create a Household Water Efficiency Plan.
- Know the location of the main water valve at the meter and the home’s shut-off valve to isolate a possible leak inside or outside the home.
- Walk your property seasonally to detect possible leaks.
- Look for water pooling; dripping, or leaking outside faucets; and soft areas in the ground.
- Occasionally check your water meter. A meter that runs when no water is on inside or outside of the home indicates a leak.
Inside the home:
- Install low-flow showerheads and low-flow faucet aerators.
- When you upgrade your dishwasher, laundry washer, or toilet, select a low-flow or water efficient model.
- Turn off water when brushing teeth and washing hands.
- Check faucets, showerheads, and pipes for leaks.
- Check for running toilets.
- Insulate hot water pipes.
- Run the dishwasher and clothes washer only when full.
- Minimize use of the kitchen garbage disposal.
- When washing dishes by hand, do not leave the water running for rinsing.
- Do not use your toilet as a garbage can.
- Keep a pitcher of drinking water in the refrigerator.
- When you have a leaky toilet or faucet, call a certified plumber right away. Until it’s fixed, turn the water valve off when not in use.
Outside the home:
- Check faucets and pipes for leaks.
- Monitor irrigation or sprinkler times and change or turn off when rain is more prevalent.
- Position sprinklers to water only what you want. Don’t water sidewalks or streets.
- Water early in the day. Don’t water when it’s windy.
- Put mulch around trees and plants to absorb water and decrease watering times.
- Use a drip-irrigation system for shrubs and trees.
- Use a spray nozzle and bucket when washing your car.
- Use a broom and not a hose to clean your driveway or sidewalk.
- Check irrigation or sprinkler lines in the spring for leaks or breaks.
- Check water bills for unexpected high usage.
