Water Conservation
As the drought continues on, California water supply continues to decrease. One can save up to 25 gallons per day by installing flow restriction and fix leaks in indoor plumbing and outdoor sprinkle systems. In addition, you can turn off the water when washing dishes, brushing teeth, and for guys, when shaving. Taking a shorter shower and using a broom instead of a hose to clean patios, driveways and sidewalks are other ways you can help conserve water as well. One can save up to 25-50 gallons of water by using a shut-off nozzle and water bucket to was your car and by watering your lawn and gardens in cooler morning or evening house.  Installing high efficiently toilets and water-saving toilets and water-saving clothes and dish washers. plus covering pools and spas to reduce the amount of evaporation also helps conserve water. To save 50+ gallons of water per day you can reset or turn off automatic sprinkles in the late Fall or Winter and run only full loads in dish and clothes washers. These are many methods that people can help save water during this drastic drought!
