HOW TO SAVE

WATER AT HOME
Did you know that the average American
family uses 300 gallons of water each day?

IN YOUR
01
BATHROOM

Turn off the faucet when

brushing your teeth
Avoid taking baths
because a full tub uses
around 36 gallons of water
while a 10 minute shower
uses around 20 gallons
Try cutting your shower
time in half

02 IN YOUR
KITCHEN

Use the dishwater (make

sure it is fully loaded)
Keep a pitcher of water
in the fridge instead of
letting the faucet run
until it gets cold

IN YOUR
03
LAUNDRY ROOM

Only use the washing

machine when you have
a full load
Upgrade to a water-
efficient washing
machine because this
can save up to 7,000
gallons of water per
year

IN YOUR
04
YARD

Install a rain barrel to collect

water for outdoor plants
Water plants in the morning
or late evening because less
water will be lost from
evaporation
