We all need water for ourselves, our plants, our animals, and more, but you can still minimize your water use. As a bonus, you'll find that reducing your water use can also lower your water bills.
Use these quick tips in your home and landscape:
- Find and fix leaks.
- Install low-flow toilets and shower heads.
- Run the dishwasher or clothes washer only when you have full loads.
- Water your lawn only if it needs it.
- Repair and calibrate your irrigation system.
- Follow Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ principles.
Don’t forget that not only do we need enough water to use, but it also has to be clean water. Florida’s Department of Environmental Protection has tips for keeping pollution out of our water.
