How much water can be saved if you conserve water?

Answer 1

—leaks in your toilet could waste up to 1000 gallons of water per month. You can find this out byputting food coloring into your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak.

—Also, you can save water bysetting a kitchen timer when you water your garden to remind you when to stop. A running hose can use up to 10 gallons a minute.

—Lastly, when shopping for a new washing machine, compare water and energy usage among Energy Star models. Some of these can save up to 20 gallons per load, and energy too.
