General Water Saving Tips

1. Create an awareness of the need for water conservation among children. Avoid the purchase of recreational water toys that require a constant stream of water.
   
   
2. Be aware of and follow all water-conservation and water-shortage rules and restrictions, which may be in effect in your area.
   
   
3. Encourage your employer to promote water conservation at the workplace. Suggest that water conservation be put in the employee orientation manual and training program.
   
   
4. Patronize businesses which practice and promote water conservation.
   
   
5. Report all significant water losses (broken pipes, open hydrants, errant sprinklers, etc.) to the property owner or local authorities. Report abandoned free-flowing wells to the water management district.
   
   
6. Encourage your school system and local government to help develop and promote a water conservation ethic among children and adults.
   
   
7. Support projects that will lead to an increased use of reclaimed wastewater for irrigation and other uses.
   
   
8. Support efforts and programs to create a concern for water conservation among tourists and visitors to our state. Make sure visitors understand the need for, and benefits of, water conservation.
   
   
9. Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious community. Promote water conservation in community newslaters, on bulletin boards and by example.
   
   
10. Conserve water because it is the right thing to do. Don't waste water just because someone else is footing the bill such as when you are staying at a hotel.
    
    
11. Try to do one thing each day that will result in a savings of water. Don't worry if it is minimal. Every drop counts. And every person can make a difference.
