Save Water!!!

Here are some water-saving tips that every individual should feel responsible in implementing them to save water.

• Create an awareness of the need for water conservation among your children. Avoid the purchase of recreational water toys, which require a constant stream of water.
• Be aware of and follow all water conservation and water shortage rules and restrictions, which may be in effect in your area.
• Encourage your employer to promote water conservation at the workplace. Suggest that water conservation be put in the employee orientation manual and training program.
• Patronize businesses, which practice and promote water conservation.
• Report all significant water losses (broken pipes, open hydrants, errant sprinklers, abandoned free-flowing wells, etc.) to the property owner, local authorities or your Water Management District.
• Encourage your school system and local government to help develop and promote a water conservation ethic among children and adults.
• Support projects that will lead to an increased use of reclaimed wastewater for irrigation and other uses.
• Support efforts and programs to create a concern for water conservation among tourists and visitors to our state. Make sure your visitors understand the need for, and benefits of, water conservation.
• Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water conscious community. Promote water conservation in community newsletters, on bulletin boards and by example.
• Conserve water because it is the right thing to do. Don't waste water just because someone else is footing the bill such as when you are staying at a hotel.
• Try to do one thing each day that will result in a savings of water. Don't worry if the savings is minimal. Every drop counts. And every person can make a difference. So tell your friends, neighbors and co-workers to "Turn it off" and "Keep it off".
