Tips to reduce water consumption:

Check your faucets, toilets, dishwashers, showers and hot water for irregular dripping or leaks.

Fix faucets if they start to drip, Leaks account for 13.7% of all US household water use, a number that translates to thousands of gallons paid for and not used per year. By identifying and repairing these leaks quickly, you can save money and water. A "running" toilet can waste two gallons of water per minute. A silent leak in a toilet can waste up to 7,000 gallons of water per month.

Even a small leak can waste a large amount of water, using less water allows more water to stay in the ground or in a surface reservoir which helps to maintain a natural water balance, preserve water life and save water for future use.
