 Blue Water Awareness Day

The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness about the value and importance of water. We learned about  the source of clean water for the Kingscourt area. These are the tips we got on conserving water. 

In The Home

  • Install a low-flow showerhead, then take only 5-minute showers or 3-inch baths
  • Replace your toilet with a water saving ultra-low flush model. This can save up to 14,000 gallons of water per year!
  • Fix all leaky toilets, faucets and pipes
  • Turn off the water when shaving, brushing your teeth, and lathering in the shower
  • Run only full loads in dishwashers and washing machines
  • Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running it at the tap until it cools
  • Use a brush and a bowl full of water, instead of running water over fruits and vegetables
  • If buying a new washing machine, buy a front loading washer; these use 1/3 less water than top loaders
