  1. Change your habits.
    A lot of water goes down the drain needlessly. Think about the amount of water you're using and how you can use less.

  2. Repair leaks.
    A single dripping faucet can waste hundreds, even thousands of gallons per year. Most leaks are easy to find and repair.

  3. Install water-saving devices.
    If you don't already have water-efficient or low-flow fixtures, you can cut your water use with
    • aerators (to mix air with water)
    • displacement devices (to reduce the amount of water used in older toilets)
