15 Creative Ways to Save Water in California!

  1. Use one glass to drink out of throughout the day. Day after day this will help reduce the amount of water you use on washing your dishes.
  2. Skip watering your lawn on windy days. Many times it will blow onto the sidewalk or evaporate a lot quicker without actually watering your lawn (what's the point of that?!)
  3. You can save four gallons every minute by turning off your sink while brushing your shiny white teeth!
  4. If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace with a high efficiency showerhead.
  5. To reduce time needed for your water to get hot, insulate your hot water pipes.
  6. Aerate your lawn periodically. Holes every six inches will allow water to reach the roots completely.
  7. Don't use running water to thaw food. Instead, defrost your food in the refrigerator.
  8. Direct water from your gutters and downspouts to your plants and trees.
  9. Plug your sink when shaving to reduce your water consumption by dozens of gallons!
  10. Water your plants deeply, but less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
  11. Check for leakage from your toilet twice a year.
  12. Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you can save 150 gallons or more per month.
  13. Install an instant water heater near your kitchen so you don't have to wait for the water to run while getting hot.
  14. Upgrade your older toilets with water-saving features to save 100+ gallons a month.
  15. Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons every month!
