Anaheim City Council has implemented voluntary conservation measures and is encouraging all Anaheim consumers - residential, business and other customer classifications served by Anaheim Public Utilities - to help reduce water use in our community
What can happen if we all take part?
We are talking about some huge savings. You may not know it but up to 50 percent of all residential water use here in Southern California is outdoors. By cutting back on outdoor watering by at least one day a week, consumers can save an estimated 224,000 acre-feet a year. One acre-foot is the amount of water it takes to cover one acre, an area roughly the size of a football field, with water at a depth of one foot.
So, what can we do to save water?
To begin with each of us can take the following 10 steps to save water in and around our homes and businesses:
|
1. Take shorter showers - one or two minutes less time in the shower can save up to 700 gallons a month.
2. Turn off the water faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving to save three gallons a day.
3. Fix sprinkler leaks and correct overspray to save 500 gallons a month.
4. Wash only full loads in your washing machine and dishwasher.
5. Refrigerate drinking water instead of running the faucet until water runs cool.
6. Don't use the toilet for a waste basket tosave hundreds of gallons.
7. Clean sidewalks and driveways with a broom and save 150 gallons each time.
8. Mulch around trees and plants to hold water and cool the soil, saving hundreds of gallons a year.
9. Wash your car using a bucket of sudsy water followed by a quick hose rinse. Be sure to use a shutoff nozzle.
10. Water lawns early in the morning to save 25 gallons a day. |
