As appliances and equipment wear out, replace them with water-saving models.
Eliminate "once-through" cooling of equipment with municipal water by recycling water flow to the cooling tower or replacing with air-cooled equipment.
Install faucet aerators and high efficiency showerheads.
Install ultra-low flow toilets, adjust flush valves or install dams on existing toilets.
Do not use running water to melt ice or frozen foods.
Handle waste materials in a dry state whenever possible.
Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before washing.
Turn off dishwashers when not in use. Wash full loads only.
Use water from steam tables to wash down cooking areas.
Wash only full loads of laundry or select the appropriate washing cycle provided on the washing machine. Use a rinse water recycle system. Consider purchasing high efficiency equipment.
