indoor water conservation

Conservation methods that are free to implement
  • Chill a pitcher of water in the refrigerator for cold drinking water. A running faucet can waste 3-5 gallons of water per minute (gpm).

  • When cleaning vegetables soak them first in a basin of water rather than rinsing them under running water. The water used for cleaning can then be reused for indoor or outdoor plants.

  • Use a vegetable brush instead of running water to clean your fruits and vegetables.

  • Run your dishwasher only when full. If you have a small amount of dishes, hand wash them. When hand washing dishes, don't let the water run continuously, use a seperate basin or sink for rinse water.

  • Don't use the dishwasher's dry cycle. This uses a lot of energy. Instead let your dishes air dry.

  • Soak pots, pans and dishes immediately after they are used or use a spatula to scrape off food rather than using water.

  • Recycle left over drinking water to water plants or soak dirty dishes.

  • Be sparing in your disposal use. Garbage disposals require quite a lot of water to keep them debris free.

  • Plan ahead to thaw frozen foods. Place them in the refrigerator ahead of time or use the microwave.

Conservation methods that are less than $50


  • For less than $5, aerators can reduce water output to 2gpm or less, saving you money on your water and energy bills.

Conservation methods that are over $100

  • Install a new energy and water efficient dishwasher machine.
