Water conservation can be achieved in many ways. Here are some suggestions.
1. Verify that your home is leak-free, because many homes have hidden water leaks.
2. Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. If your faucet is dripping at the rate of one drop per second, you can expect to waste 2,700 gallons per year.
3. Check for toilet tank leaks by adding food coloring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear within 30 minutes. Check the toilet for worn out, corroded or bent parts. Flush as soon as the test is done, since food coloring may stain tank.
4. Replace your shower head with an ultra-low-flow version.
