Ways  to Reduce Your Water Footprint Inside

• Turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving
• Shower rather than take a bath, keeping shower time under 8 minutes
• Only run full loads of laundry and dishes
• Fix leaky faucets to reduce water loss
• Do not use water to defrost foods, thaw overnight in the refrigerator

Ways  to Reduce Your Water Footprint Outside

• Sweep driveways, sidewalks, and steps instead of hosing off
• Use a watering can, rather than a hose
• Find and repair leaks in irrigation systems
• Ensure sprinklers are only watering the landscape and not the street or sidewalk
• Use soaker hoses where possible
