The following article is the first part
of a two-part article covering house-
hold water conservation practices. It
was taken from a 1978 publication of
the Texas Department of Water Re-
sources.
Poor Richard's Almanac tells us that,
"When the well's dry we know the
worth of water." It's time in Texas to
pay heed.
Texans have realized for decades the
value of water to their health and the
state's economy. Now, however, with
a population that has grown by tens of
thousands and is continuing to grow,
we face water shortages in many re-
gions of our State. More people using
more water for more purposes places
an acute demand on water resources
which have not increased as water re-
quirements have grown.
From 1964 through 1974, average
municipal water use per person in
Texas increased each year by one and
one-third gallons per person. During
the same ten-year period, average
water use has been about 139 gallons
per person each day, and during the
past five years it increased to 145 gal-
lons per person per day.
Per capita water use varies across the
State, however, generally increasing
from east to west and, during periods
of extended drought, water use in-
creases markedly, largely because of
increased outdoor use.
Most municipal water is used for
normal domestic purposes - bathing,
drinking, cooking, washing dishes,
laundering, and other in-house pur-
poses, plus outside uses such as lawn
watering and car washing.
It is these household water uses
which, if carefully managed, can rep-
resent real water conservation which
means using only the water you NEEDand saving the rest for another time.
And remember, not only will you
conserve our most valuable resource,
but you will, at the same time, reduce
that water bill that seems to grow with
each monthly statement.
Here is the first part of 50 easy ways
to reduce water consumption in and
around your home, and lower the
water bill while you're doing it.
In the bathroom . ..
About 75 percent of the water in the
home is used in the bathroom. Put
these conservation tips to work.
Showers usually use less water than
tub baths. Do this the next time you
shower: Plug the drain and compare
the water level with the level you
would use for a tub bath. This willAND AROUND THE HOUSE
give you a good idea as to how much
water y'ou save with a shower.
install a shower head that restricts
the amount of flow. You can reduce
the amount of water used from about
five gallons per minute to approxi-
mately two-and-a-half gallons per min-
ute and the new, or modified, shower
head will pay for itself in a short time.
Take shorter showers. Turn the water
off while soaping and back on again
only ir: rinse.
Dorvt use hot water when cold will
do. Nnve water and energy by washing
hands with soap and cold water; add
hot water only when hands are espe-
cially dirty.
If you have no shower and must take
tub baths, reduce the level of the water
you have been using by one or two
inches.
When brushing your teeth, turn off
the wmer until you need to rinse your
mouth.
Even when washing hands, don't let
the water run. Wet hands, turn off the
water while soaping and scrubbing,
and lurn it on again to rinse.
Shampoo your hair in the shower.
It takes little more water than for the
bath, and much less than a separate
shampoo will use.
When shaving, pond hot water in the
basin instead of letting the faucet run.
YOM commode could be leaking
without t your knowing it. Do this: Add
a few drops of food coloring to the
water n the tank, but do not flush.
Now watch to see if the coloring ap-
pears in the bowl within a few minutes.
If it does, the fixture needs adjustment
or repair.
Weight two one-quart plastic bottles
with stones and fill with water. Re-
place 1ihe caps and lower them into the
tank of the commode. This will reducethe amount of water in the tank but
still provide enough for flushing.
(Bricks which some people use for this
purpose e are not recommended since
they crumble eventually and could
d a m a g e the working mechanism,
necessitating a call to the plumber.)
Inst I faucet aerators to cut water
consu ption.
Nevcr use the commode to dispose
of clo' nsing tissues, cigarette butts or
other trash. This can waste a great deal
of water and also places an unneces-
sary load on your sewage treatment
plant.
If you are building a new home or
remodeling a bathroom, install a new
3/2-gallon commode rather than the
conventional 5 to 6 gallon fixture.0 3nN3AV OE6Z
