Water Saving Tips
Georgia is currently in the worst drought in years. Are you looking for ways to help the situation? Here's some easy ways to conserve water:

  • Keep your showers under five minutes.

  • Soak cooked food off pots and pans, instead of scraping the food off under running water.

  • When you're brushing your teeth or shaving, don't let the water run in the sink. Turn it on when you need it, and then turn it back off.

  • Drop tissues in the trash, instead of putting them in the toilet and then flushing them away.

  • Plants in pots die more from over-watering than under-watering. Water your house plants only as much as they need.

  • Instead of frequently running the garbage disposal in your kitchen sink ... put your disposables in a small, Tupperware-style container instead, and then grind them all up together once a day.

  • When you wash your hands ... while you soap them up, turn off the water!

  • Put food coloring in your toilet tank; if the water in the bowl turns color, you have a leak! Fix it easily to save hundreds of gallons a month.

  • Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting; longer grass holds more water in the soil than a closely cut lawn does.

  • Run both the washing machine and the dishwasher only when you have a full load.

  • Keep a pitcher of cold water in the fridge, instead of running tap water and waiting for it to get cold.

  • Check inside and outside your house for leaky faucets and pipes ... then, fix the ones that need it!

  • If you have an older toilet, save a gallon or two every time you flush. Put a plastic bottle with some sand in the bottom inside your toilet tank to displace some of the water you don't need to use.
