Water Conservation Tips

It is important to monitor water usage, especially during the summer months when water supply is limited. Here are a few helpful hints to limit water consumption:

• Use low flow showerheads or flow restrictors in regular showerheads which can reduce flow by as much as 40 per cent.
• Shorten your showering time.
• Use low flow aerators on all inside faucets which can reduce water flow by as much as 50 per cent.
• When replacing fixtures insist on water conservation models.
• Fix leaking faucets.
• Check toilets for leaks by using dye tablets or food colouring in the toilet tank. After several minutes, if colour appears in the bowl without flushing, check for leaks as this usually means the flapper is leaking. Flappers should be available at local hardware stores.
