Using water more efficiently will not only save money but, more importantly, will also help protect the quality of life of future Texans.  With the vastness of Texas, it's easy to forget two important facts about our state:

• We are subject to frequent droughts

• Our population is projected to double in the next 50 years

The cost of developing new or additional supplies in that same time period is estimated to be $30.7 billion!  To insure that we have enough water for current and future Texans, we need to do whatever is possible to stop pollution from entering into our air and ground water - and we need to reduce the amount of water we waste.  Possible water savings can be achieved with:

• High efficiency toilets, water-efficient washing machines, rainwater harvesting systems, and ware-efficient landscaping can all help reduce water use

• Water-efficient showerheads and aerators for faucets can significantly reduce the amount of water you use.  In fact, installing a water-efficient showerhead is one of the most effective water-savings steps you can take inside your house.

• Leaking faucets and toilets can waste thousands of gallons of water monthly, and they are inexpensive to fix.  A few small changes in your water use habits can make a huge difference in water savings.

Helpful Water Conservation Tips:

• Replace your showerhead with a water-efficient model

• Take showers instead of baths

• Turn off the water while you are shaving.  Fill the sink with hot water instead of letting the water run continuously

• Don't waste water when brushing your teeth or washing your hands.  Shut off the water until it's time to rinse

• Run the dishwasher only when full

• Install faucet aerators.  You'll never notice the difference, and you'll cut your sink water consumption in half!

• Keep a container of water in the refrigerator.  It will be refreshingly cool and won't waste water

• Dry scrape dishes instead of rinsing.  Your dishwasher will take care of the rest

• Use garbage disposals sparingly.  They can waste water unnecessarily
