Water Conservation Tips

Indoor Water Use

• Never use any more water than necessary to complete a task.

• Fix leaky faucets, sinks and toilets.

• Take shorter showers, every minute you shorten your shower can save up to 75 gallons per month.

• Turn off water while brushing teeth or shaving.

• Keep a container of cold water in the refrigerator instead of waiting for water to cool at the faucet.

• Fill sink half-way to rinse fruits and vegetables versus rinsing individually under running water.
• Be sure you have a full load when using the dishwasher.
• When washing clothes, make sure you have a full load; if not, select the correct water level.
• Visalia's water provider, California Water Service (Cal-Water) offers at no charge to single-family residential customers conservation kits featuring a number of water-saving plumbing retrofit fixtures.
