6 Ways That You Can Conserve Water

2. Fix any leaks that you may have – having a leak in your rental house  or apartment can cost you big time when it comes to using and paying for water. A leak will literally leak water non-stop until you get it fixed. It’s basically the same thing as slightly leaving your faucet on all day. Fixing any leaks you may have as soon as possible is another great way that you can conserve water.

3. Take shorter showers – According to Saveourwater.com , older shower heads can use up to 5 gallons of water per minute. So if you like to take 20-minute showers, that is a lot of water going down the drain. You can save a ton of money and water simply by cutting your shower times shorter.

4. Wait to run the dishwasher until it is completely full – Running half-loads of dishes can add up to gallons of water that are being wasted. You can save on water by making sure your dishwasher is completely full before you run it.

5. Go to the car wash instead of using your own water to wash your car – This one is pretty straightforward. While going to the car wash may cost you a few bucks, you will actually save a lot more money, and water, in the long run, if you do that instead of washing your car at home.

6. Get a rain barrel – if you live in a place where it rains often, you can conserve a lot of water and save a lot of money by getting a rain barrel and letting it collect rainwater, and then using that rainwater to water your plants or garden rather than using the water hose from your house or apartment.
