Conservation
Minimum measures
1
Protect against frozen pipes.
Install and utilize shut-off valves on your side of the meter, and then drain your on-site water system when you leave. Insulate water pipes outside the structure and in the crawl space beneath the structure.
2
Install low-flow showerheads and toilet tank displacement devices.
3
Repair leaky faucets and valves.
A leaky faucet can waste 1,500 gallons per month.
4
Use buckets instead of running hoses to wash vehicles, equipment and structures.
5
Use brooms rather than hoses to clean sidewalks and driveways.
6
Minimize landscape irrigation, especially during hot summer days to prevent evaporation.
