Don't Shower Alone

I don't think this needs a lot of explanation. Just don't linger too long, or you won't save water over two separate showers.

Spend less money, help the environment.

Catch Rain Water

Thousands of gallons of water may be falling on your roof like pennies from heaven. One inch of rain on a 1000 sq. ft. roof will give you about 623 gallons of runoff. With rain barrels, screened-over food-grade drums, or other similar containers (think of your own DIY options), you can use this free water for around the yard. Most containers will accept an attached hose, or can be modified to do so by drilling a 3/4 inch hole and adding a screw-in spigot. Attach a regular hose or soaker hose, and you can distribute the water where you need it, just as you did before.

You will save money over paying for municipal water - more if you are not exempt from sewage charges on your outside water usage. You can water whenever you like, which is more than just a convenience if your city or borough restricts summer watering days.

You will help to reduce municipal water usage and conserve local natural water supplies, all with a replacement that happens to deliver itself to your house. It makes being conservative fairly easy.

Use Your Dishwasher More Often

There are too many articles to count that say you use less water by running the dishwasher rather than hand washing or pre-rinsing your dishes. But choosing the dishwasher over the tap can also help if you need to clean your recyclables before placing them in the recycling bin. (You can also slip a few bottles / jars in with your usual load of dishes.)

You'll save money if household recycling costs you less than your refuse service. And you'll use less water cleansing your recycling if you need to do so, also saving a few pennies.
