Tips to Save Water This Summer

SAhhh, water! We rely on water for so many facets of our daily life in Lynn, MA. And while the summer is when we seem to truly appreciate it the most, it is also the time of year that can be extra wasteful.
Here’s a few tips to remind us that saving water should be an every day routine in our lives.
Water the Yard in the Cooler Part of the Day
The hot afternoon sun is no time to water your lawn. The water will begin to evaporate before it gets a chance to soak into the ground. Try the morning or evening when outdoor temperatures are lower.
Toilet Leak Test
The toilet is one of the most common places that will find water leaks. Luckily, it is also one of the easiest to check for. Click here for a Simple Toilet Leak Test that you can do yourself.
Cover the Pool
It only takes a few minutes to cover and uncover the pool. That extra time will help keep water from needlessly evaporating.
You Deserve a Dishwasher
You not only deserve the extra help doing the dishes, it will also save water and energy. Energy star rated models can use as little as 3 gallons of water per load. Washing dishes by hand can use up to 27 gallons.
Car Wash
While washing a car in the driveway to some is a family tradition, an automatic car wash can often use only 40 gallons of water.
Rain Barrel for Your Gutter
Putting a rain barrel under gutter is an excellent way to help the environment. You can then use that water to water plants around the yard.
Shower or Bath?
The relaxing nature of bath is something that cannot be duplicated. But did you realize that the average tub will take between 30-50 gallons of water to fill with hot water. The average shower is only 20 gallons. Today’s latest achievements in shower heads can bring that down to even less … which saves you both water and energy
