Tips for Efficient Water Use
	Keep showers to a maximum of 10 minutes. Install energy efficient shower heads.
	Do not hose down driveways or sidewalks. Using a broom will save up to 150 gallons each time.
	Do not leave water running when washing dishes, brushing your teeth or shaving.
	Only run full loads in your washing machine or dishwasher.
	Only water lawn in early morning or evening to reduce evaporation. Avoid watering in the heat of the day or when it is windy.

Toilet Leaks
	Can you hear water running in your toilet even when the tank is full?
		This is often caused by the fill valve being out of adjustment or faulty. Correcting this problem can both save up to 50 gallons of water per day and save you money on your water bill.
	Does your toilet cycle on and off throughout the day?
		This is often caused by the rubber stopper (called the flapper) between the tank and the toilet bowl not seating properly which causes water to slowly drain from the tank. Adjusting or replacing the flapper often fixes this problem.
	Are you not sure if your toilet is leaking?
		Blue tablets are available in our office for toilet leak detection.
