WATER CONSERVATION PRACTICES; From the Office of the Superintendent of Utilities.
Ways to conserve water in the home and yard Water conservation has become an essential practice in all regions, even in areas where water seems abundant. Recent droughts have ravaged essential ground water levels to historic lows.
Water conservation helps prevent water pollution in nearby lakes, rivers and local watersheds; it also saves money on your utility bill. Conserving water can also extend the life of your septic system by reducing soil saturation, and reducing any pollution due to leaks. Overloading municipal sewer systems can cause untreated sewage to flow to lakes and rivers. The smaller the amount of water flowing through these systems, the lower the likelihood of pollution.
Water conservation in the home...
Water conservation in the yard and garden...
2. Check your toilets for leaks Put a few drops of food coloring in your toilet tank. If, the color begins to appear in the bowl within 30 minutes, you have a leak that should be repaired immediately.
12. Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants Mulch will slow evaporation of moisture while discouraging weed growth. Adding 2 - 4 inches of organic material such as compost or bark mulch will increase the ability of the soil to retain moisture.
3. Install water-saving shower heads and low-flow faucet aerators This single best home water conservation method is also the cheapest!
13. Don’t water the street gutter and driveway Position your sprinklers so water lands on the lawn or garden, not on paved areas. Also, avoid watering on windy days.
4. Install new toilets For new installations, consider buying “low flush” toilets, which use 1 to 2 gallons per flush instead of the usual 3 to 5 gallons.
14. Water your lawn only when it needs it A good way to see if your lawn needs watering is to step on the grass. If it springs back up when you move, it doesn’t need water. Most lawns only need about 1” of water each week.
1. Check faucets and pipes for leaks A small drip from a worn faucet washer can waste 20 gallons of water per day.
5. Take shorter showers. Turn off the shower after soaping up, then turn it back on to rinse. 6. Turn off the water after you wet your toothbrush Just wet your brush and fill a glass for mouth rinsing. 7. Rinse your razor in the sink Fill the sink; this will rinse your razor just as well as running water. 8. Use your dishwasher and clothes washer for only full loads Dishwashers and clothes washers should be fully loaded for optimum water conservation. 9. Minimize use of kitchen sink garbage disposal units Garbage disposals require lots of water to operate properly. Start a compost pile as an alternate method of disposing food waste.
11. Plant drought-resistant lawns, shrubs and plants If you are planting a new lawn, or over-seeding an existing lawn, use droughtresistant grasses.
15. Don’t run the hose while washing your car Clean the car using a pail of soapy water. Use the hose only for rinsing - this simple practice can save as much as 150 gallons when washing a car. 16. Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks 17. Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets and couplings Leaks outside the house may not seem as bad since they’re not as visible. But they can be just as wasteful as leaks indoors. Use hose washers at spigots and hose connections to eliminate leaks.
10. When washing dishes by hand, don’t leave the water running for rinsing
Water Conservation Summary In 1990, 30 states in the US reported ‘waterstress’ conditions. In 2000, the number of states reporting water-stress rose to 40. In 2009, the number rose to 45. There is a worsening trend in water supply nationwide. Taking measures at home to conserve water not only saves you money, it also is of benefit to the greater community. Saving water at home does not require any significant cost outlay. Although there 75015352
are water-saving appliances and water conservation systems such as rain barrels, drip irrigation and on-demand water heaters which are more expensive, the bulk of water saving methods can be achieved at little cost. For example, 75% of water used indoors is in the bathroom, and 25% of this is for the toilet. The average toilet uses 4 gallons per flush (gpf). You can invest in a ULF (ultra-low flush) toilet which will use only 2 gpf. But you can also install a simple tank bank, costing about $2, which will save .8 gpf. This saves 40% of what you would save with the ULF toilet. Using simple methods like tank banks, low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators
you can retrofit your home for under$50. By using water-saving features you can reduce your in-home water use by 35%. This means the average household, which uses 130,000 gallons per year, could save 44,000 gallons of water per year. On a daily basis, the average household, using 350 gallons per day, could save 125 gallons of water per day. The average individual, currently using 70 gallons per day, could save 25 gallons of water per day. When buying low-flow aerators, be sure to read the label for the actual ‘gpm’ (gallons per minute) rating. Often, the big box retailers promote “low-flow” which is rated at 2.5 gpm,
which is at the top of the low-flow spectrum. This may be needed for the kitchen sink, but we find that a 1.5 gpm aerator works fine for the bathroom sink and most water outlets, delivering the same spray force in a comfortable, soft stream. Finally, it should be noted that installing low-flow aerators, showerheads, tank banks and other water-saving devices usually is a very simple operation which can be done by the homeowner and does not even require the use of tools. Water conservation at home is one of the easiest measures to put in place, and saving water should become part of everyday family practice.
