Apartments, Condos, and Dorms
With hot, dry weather continuing in our area, our water supplies are at risk due to shortages and
drought conditions. We need everyone in our community to help save water for the places where we
need it most—including firefighting, hospitals, and public health. You can make a difference in the
community by showing your support for water conservation and doing what you can to save this
precious resource. Here are a few tips to get you started.
Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth, washing
your hands, or shaving will save up to 200 gallons of
water per month!
Shorten your showers by just one minute and you
can save more than 500 gallons of water in a year and
enough electricity to run your laptop!

THINK AFTER
YOU DRINK
If you have water left in your reusable water bottle,
pour whatever you didn't finish on your houseplants
or save it in the fridge for later.
TAKE A
LOAD OFF
Don't run a load of clothes or dishes until the washer
is full. Doing just one less load of dishes a week saves
over 300 gallons a year!
