1. Use a low flow shower head and faucet aerators.
2. Fix leaks.
3. Install a dual flush or low flow toilet or put a conversion kit on your existing toilet.
4. Don’t overwater your lawn or water during peak periods, and install rain sensors on irrigation systems.
5. Install a rain barrel for outdoor watering.
6. Plant a rain garden for catching stormwater runoff from your roof, driveway, and other hard surfaces.
