What are seven ways to conserve water at home?

1. Take shorter showers: Taking shorter showers is one of the easiest ways to save water. Try to limit your showers to 5 minutes, and turn the water off while you're soaping up and shampooing.

2. Fix leaky faucets: Leaky faucets can waste a lot of water over time. Check your faucets regularly and repair any leaks as soon as possible. You can usually do this yourself with a few simple tools.

3. Use faucet aerators: Faucet aerators help to reduce the flow of water from your faucets, without sacrificing water pressure. This can save you up to 30% on your water bill.

4. Water your lawn less often: Lawns only need to be watered about once a week, during the hottest months of the year. Water your lawn early in the morning or late in the evening, so that less water evaporates. And make sure to use a sprinkler, so you don't over water.

5. Wash your car less often: If you can, try to wash your car less often. When you do wash it, use a bucket and sponge instead of a hose, and only use as much water as you need.

6. Reuse water: Whenever possible, reuse water around the house. For example, you can use the water you boil eggs in to water plants. Or, you can collect the water that condenses on your air conditioner and use it to clean windows.

7. Be aware of your water usage: The first step to conserving water is to be aware of how much you're using. Take a look at your water bill and see where you can make cuts. Once you know where you're using the most water, you can start to make changes.
