Saving Water in the Bathroom?

The bathroom is where most of the home's water is used --  it is the place where you can save the most.
 

Toilet

• Don't use your toilet for a garbage disposal or a trash can.
• Consider installing a low-flow toilet (required for replacements and new installations).
• Install a water-saving displacement device.
• For older toilets, buy or make a device that won't harm your plumbing such as  a toilet dam or weighted plastic jug full of water.
• Be sure that installation does not interfere with operating parts.
• DO NOT use a brick -- it may disintegrate and cause problems.
• Check overflow pipes to be sure that water is not draining.
• Add dark food coloring to TANK water. DON'T FLUSH! Check water in TOILET BOWL 15-20 minutes later. Color in the toilet bowl means you have a leak.

Sinks

• Fill bowl with water instead of letting water run when you wash, brush teeth or shave.
• Promptly repair leaks and drips.
• Install water saving devices. Try a faucet aerator to reduce amount of water used. 

Tub or Shower  

• Install water-saving devices. Use a low-flow shower head, flow restrictor or cut off valve (lets you shut off water at shower head while soaping up and shampooing without changing the faucet setting).
