Why does water conservation matter? • Ensures water for future growth and future generations • Reduces costs to water customers since conservation is almost always less expensive than other water supply options • Reduces the need for additional water since removing water from a river can impact fish and wildlife habitat • Conserves energy since treating, moving, and cleaning water used in cities is energy intensive

Water Sources in Texas

That’s over 316 BILLION gallons! Water Usage Per Year Population 4.33 Mil 2.48 Mil That’s over 316 BILLION gallons!

Wash laundry & dishes with full loads Always turn off running water 5 Easy Water Saving Tips Wash laundry & dishes with full loads Always turn off running water Take shorter showers Eliminate any and all leaks Reduce the flow of toilets & showerheads There are 5 easy ways you can start conserving water today. We all need to take responsibility for saving water whether or not there is a drought. Remember, every drop counts. Additional Tips: As you are warming the shower water, put a bucket in to collect the clean water. This water can be used for several things in your home, such as watering plants, mopping the floor and a variety of household chores. Plan ahead when cooking and thaw out food in the refrigerator to prevent running under water to thaw. You should also reduce the flow of water from your showerhead. The average showerhead uses 2.5 gallons of water a minute. A low-flow showerhead can easily reduce the flow to 1.5 gallons per minute. If you don’t know how much water your shower uses, you can measure the flow rate per minute with a bucket. You could hold the bucket under the showerhead for one minute, but it is easier to check the flow for 30 seconds and multiply by two to get the per minute flow.
