Save Water Indoors
Join the Dublin San Ramon Services District in helping to conserve water and preserve the supply for future years. Conservation is a way of life in California.
- Run dishwashers and clothes washers only at full capacity
- Upgrade to a high-efficiency clothes washer (rebates available)
- Don't let faucets run when brushing teeth
- Defrost foods in the refrigerator rather than under running water
- Reduce shower times (try using a timer or playing music with a three-song limit)
- Scrape food off plates, pots, and pans, or wipe with a paper towel and dispose of it in the green waste
- Let pans soak in soapy water until ready to be cleaned, rather than using running water
- Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until it's cool
- Catch your warm-up water in the shower and use it on plants
- Leaks often cause unexpectedly high water bills. If your water usage is higher than anticipated, visit our Leaks & High Water Bills page to determine if a leak is the cause of the problem.
