Water Saving Tips

At school and at home, you can help protect our water resources.

•Turn off the tap in your bathroom while you brush your teeth.
•Take shorter showers. (Get a timer and time yourself.)
•Don't let the water run constantly while you're washing or rinsing dishes.
•Fill a pitcher with tap water and put it in the fridge, rather than running the tap every time you want a cold drink!
•Clean sidewalks and driveways with a broom--not the water hose!
•Water your lawn in the early morning to avoid evaporation.
•Repair dripping faucets.
•Place a layer of mulch around trees and plants to retain water.
