WSSC Water Conservation Tips

Looking to lower your water bill and conserve water? A leak is often the culprit, but small changes can make a big difference! Indoors, check for toilet leaks, install water-saving devices, and take shorter showers. Avoid using your toilet as a trash can and opt for a low-flow toilet. Outdoors, save water by mulching your garden, using a broom instead of a hose for cleaning, and checking hoses and sprinklers for leaks. When washing your car, use a bucket and rinse quickly, and for pools, keep water levels low to prevent unnecessary loss. For more water conservation tips, visit wsscwater.com/leaks. Every drop counts!

¿Quieres reducir tu factura de agua y conservar este recurso vital? ¡Las fugas suelen ser la causa principal, pero pequeños cambios pueden marcar la diferencia! En interiores, revisa si hay fugas en el inodoro, instala dispositivos de ahorro de agua y toma duchas más cortas. Evita usar el inodoro como basurero y considera un modelo de bajo flujo. En exteriores, ahorra agua usando mantillo en el jardín, barriendo en lugar de usar una manguera y revisando si hay fugas en mangueras y rociadores. Al lavar tu auto, usa un balde y enjuaga rápidamente, y para las piscinas, mantén los niveles de agua bajos para evitar pérdidas innecesarias. Para más consejos sobre conservación del agua, visita wsscwater.com/leaks. ¡Cada gota cuenta!
