How Can I Conserve Water?

Riverside Highland Water Company encourages all of our customers and shareholders to help conserve water. Some conservation tips include:

• Check your toilets for leaks. You can easily do this by putting a few drops of food coloring into the tank. If the color shows up in the bowl, it's time to replace the flapper.
  
  
• Replace your older toilet with a newer, more efficient low-flow toilet.
  
  
• You can easily repair a dripping faucet by replacing the worn out washers.
  
  
• Take a short shower instead of a long bath.
  
  
• Remember to turn the water off while you are brushing your teeth.
  
  
• Only run the dishwasher and clothes washer when they have a full load.
  
  
• Keep a cold jug of water in the refrigerator instead of letting the tap run until it’s cold.
  
  
• Use a broom to clean your driveway – not a hose.
  
  
• Adjust your sprinklers so only the lawn gets watered, not the streets or sidewalks.
  
  
• Fix leaky pipes and hose bibs as soon as possible
