What are some general ways I can save water?

There are always more ways to save water. Check out these ideas.

• Teach children to turn off faucets tightly after each use.
• When the kids want to cool off, use the sprinkler in an area where your lawn needs it most.
• Learn how to use your water meter to check for leaks.
• Avoid recreational water toys that require a constant flow of water.
