Without water, there is no life.... conserve it. Water conservation programs are available for all customers. Information and appointments for home visits and water audits can be obtained by calling your local office of Arizona Water Company. A conventional toilet uses about 7 gallons of water per flush. You can save water by reducing the amount of water used per flush and by not using the toilet as a trash can. Surround the plants in your landscape with a bed of mulch or other organic material or gravel. This bed will slow evaporation and discourage weed growth. Most leaks, aside from toilets, are from worn or damaged washers in your faucets. Check all faucets inside and outside your house at least twice a year and replace washers as necessary. Conserve water when cleaning your sidewalk, patio and driveway by using a broom or blower instead of washing them off with the garden hose. Do not let your hose run constantly when washing your car. Use a bucket for soapy water to wash with and only use the hose for rinsing. A little leak can waste a lot of water. Just a slow drip can waste up to 15 to 20 gallons per day. A hose left running outside can waste thousands of gallons in a single day. (Drip Calculator) Yes, you can make a difference. Conserve water! |
