Water Conservation Tips

• Fix leaks: Check faucets, toilets, and pipes for any leaks and repair them as soon as possible. Even small leaks can add up.
• Shorten showers: Cutting your shower time by just a couple of minutes can save gallons of water.
• Turn off the tap: Don’t leave the water running while brushing your teeth or washing dishes. If you use a water hose outside, make sure it has a shut off nozzle.
• Use appliances efficiently: Only run full loads of laundry and dishes to maximize water use.
• Monitor usage: Track hourly water usage through your btutilities.com account. Be aware of unusual spikes.
• Reduce refills: Cover pools and spas to reduce the need to refill.

• Installing a low-flow toilet can save a family of four more than 45 gallons of water a day. That’s 1350 gallons a month.
• You can lose up to 200 gallons of water a day from a leaking toilet.  And a faucet drip can waste 604,800 drops during the week.
• You can reduce your monthly sewer charge by eliminating outside water used during rate setting months (December, January and February).
