Water Saving Tips from GGCD

•  Be aware of and follow all water conservation and water shortage rules in effect in your community. Don’t assume — even if you get your water from a private well — that you need not observe good water use rules. Every drop counts.

• Encourage your employer to promote water conservation in the workplace.

•  Report all significant water losses (broken pipes, open hydrants, errant sprinklers, abandoned free-flowing wells, etc.) to the property owner, local authorities or your water management district.

•  Encourage your school system and local government to help develop and promote a water conservation ethic among children and adults.

•  Try to do one thing each day that will result in saving water. Don’t worry if the savings are minimal. Every drop counts. You can make a difference.

•  Conserve water because it is the right thing to do.  Don’t waste water just because someone else is footing the bill, such as when you are staying at a hotel.

•  Support projects that will lead to increased use of reclaimed wastewater.

•  Support programs that encourage water conservation among tourists and visitors to Texas.

•  Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious community.
