The country has gone green and everyone is focused on helping the environment – now it’s time for you to do your part! Here are a few tips to help conserve water and save a few bucks at the same time (courtesy of Phoenix Water Services).

Tips for the Kitchen

• If your sink is equipped with one, use the sprayer to do your dishes and don’t leave the water running continuously
• Load the dishwasher to capacity. There is no sense in running a dishwasher with only 5 dishes in it.

Tips for the Bathroom

• Report any malfunctioning toilets to your property manager. Toilets are the most wasteful when it comes to water
• The toilet is not a trash can. There is no need to flush your tissues down the toilet. You are only wasting water.
• Try not to take long showers. Aim for five to ten minute showers
• Don’t leave the water running when washing your face or brushing your teeth.

Tips for Laundry

• Make sure to take advantage of the partial load setting on your washer if you are not doing a full load of laundry.

General Tips

• Report all leaks to property management. Even the smallest leak can lead to huge water waste.
