Dont be fooled by the idea that if you conserve water you will save money..just th eopposite..Here in Atlanta do to the drought they constantly preached for conservation and when people did conserve the water companies said they had to rais ethe rates because sales were down.. Conservation is all a scam to simply charge more..

roto-rooter plumbers in los angeles county came to my home and gave me a no obligation plumbing inspection and made my home green by installing remarkable water and energy saving devices from a tankless water heater to a gray water tank for the yard. i saw big money savings from the get-go. technician #14-163 was great and was an obvious professional. id refer them to everyone! good luck all!

I have been doing all these things to conserve and reserve years before now. I would like to hear something that I havent done or at least heard about. This is a minor thing but what about rincing the coffee filters and letting them dry and use them many times? I use the potty several times a night (just pee) of course but do not flush untill I get up the next morning. No it does not smell.That is unless you have a bladder or kidney infection and you kill two birds with one stone. Save water and you know something is wrong and to get it treated.

turn the faucet off while shaving too. set sprinklers to water ??3 times a week instead of daily, This is not a popular topic for some but I feel we should be paying more for all limited resources that are depleting rapidly. Gas prices go up, everyone thinks more about it, same can work for water.

Golly! Aynbody that's never seen these tips has been in a coma since 1970! Low Flow Showerheads..... I will not advertise the brands here but, there are a few that do save water and do give you an efficirnt rince. FYI... the wand type heads are more efficient for rinsing.

My ex husband works for a water treatment facility! It's true.....every so often, they pump the "crap" out of the basins where it is stored at the facility, and they load it into semi tank trucks, take it out to a field, and hook the tank up to a tractor, and plow it into the field. Only plants that don't grow idown n the soil, such as corn, etc. get the fertilizer. Plants that have fruit that may touch the soild are not treated.Yumyum. Now how ya like your cream style corn??

I installed a low flow shower head and I recently drilled a hole in the flow restrictor so I could wash off the soap or shampoo. Low flow shower heads suck becasue the water just "dribbles" out..

Many waste treatment plants can be used to convert human waste to safe fertilizer
