We have no choice but to pay more attention to how we are using water, and how we may be wasting it. We must bridge the gap between our understanding of how important water is to our survival and what we can do to ensure that we have an adequate supply of clean water for years to come.
Below is a list of the many simple ways you can take action and conserve water, both inside and outside our homes.
" Try to do one thing each day to save water. Don't worry if the savings are minimal. Every drop counts and every person can make a difference.
" Be aware of and follow all water conservation and water shortage rules and restrictions that may be in effect in your area.
" Make sure your children are aware of the need to conserve water.
WHERE YOUR SHUT OFF VALVE IS?
If you had a major water break do you know where "your" cutoff valve is located? Do all family members know where the cutoff is? Would you have to dig dirt away to find and operate the valve? Is the cutoff operable by hand or would you have to use a wrench on it? Does the valve shut off completely or does water pass through when valve is in the off position?
A broken water line outside a home can create a real mess and sometimes be very costly, but inside a home the problem is even greater. Ability to cut the water off quickly in an emergency can save money and heartaches. Answering the above questions now before an emergency occurs can save time and money.
A cut off valve on your side of the meter is required by District policy. We also recommend if your home is a distance from your meter, you install a second cutoff where your water line connects to the house plumbing with at least one hose bibb in between cutoff valves.
Water Facts
The average person in the United States uses anywhere from 80 - 100 gallons of water per day. Flushing the toilet actually takes up the largest amount of water.
Remember: excessively hot and dry weather will cause most turf grasses to go dormant and turn brown. Grass will green up with cooler temperatures, so resist the temptation to over water.

HOW TO READ YOUR METER?
Your water meter is most often located at the front of your property close to the road. It is always wise to locate and mark the location of your meter.
Reading your own meter is an easy way to keep tabs on the amount of water your household uses. Your water meter measures the amount of water used in gallons.
Your meter is configures like the odometer on your car and is simple to read. To read your water meter, read the dialbeginning with the left. Simply take the meter reading and subtract the previous meter reading from the current meter reading to determine the amount of water used in gallons.
Your water meter can also be used to check for invisible or unnoticed leaks. Turn off all water outlets and water using appliances. Read the dial on the water meter and record reading. After 15 to 20 minutes, recheck the meter. If no water has been turned on or used and the reading has changed, a leak is occuring somewhere in your plumbing system. The services of a plumber or a trained water utility employee are often required to locate and fix these invisible leaks.
