5 Quick Water Saving Tips:

1. To get warm water, turn hot water on first and then add cold water as needed. You get warm water quicker this way and minimize water waste.
2. Use only the amount of water necessary to cook foods such as vegetables and stews. You will preserve nutritional value and our water.
3. When cooking, time foods that must boil in order to avoid excessive evaporation, and always select the proper sized pans.
4. Wash only full loads of dishes in the dishwasher. A dishwasher uses between 12-20 gallons per load.
5. If washing dishes by hand, use one pan of soapy water for washing and a second pan of hot water for rinsing. Make sure to wash the least dirty dishes first.
