    Abstract

    There are four ways to reduce water in your home ...

    1. Maintain -- Fix leaks and dripping faucets. Leaks can account for 14 to 25 percent of all indoor water use.

    2. Change -- Change the way water is used in the home.

    3. Equipment -- Purchase water-reducing equipment and appliances.

    4. Think -- Develop creative water conserving practices that are safe and sanitary.

    Start wtih the largest water users. The toilet, shower/bath, and clothes washer account for two-thirds of the water used in an average household.
