Be a Watershed Steward - at Home

Be a Watershed Steward – at Home

Save water indoors:

  • Take shorter showers.
  • Fix leaky faucets.
  • Test toilets for leaks, and repair leaks if found.
  • Don’t run water down the drain while waiting for it to warm up or cool off. Catch it to use later.

Buy “green” to conserve water and protect water quality:

  • Choose locally-produced food and products.
  • Use non-toxic alternatives to chemical cleansers.
  • Install low-flow showerheads and toilets.
  • Choose high-efficiency models when replacing old appliances.
