Fall Conservation Tips

Water Saving Tips to help conserve our water supply, as well as help you extend the life of your septic tank.

Outdoor water use can be reduced by not using a hose to clean sidewalks and driveways. Use a broom and save up to eighty gallons of water every time.
If you wash dishes by hand, avoid running the water continuously; fill one sink with wash water and one with rinse water. That will save two hundred gallons a week for a family of four.
Check all washing machine hose connections for leaks. Fixing a leak can save five hundred gallons each month.
Turn off the water when brushing your teeth or shaving and save 4 gallons a minute. That is 200 gallons a week for a family of four.
Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save 1,000 gallons a month.
