A leaking or running toilet can waste a tremendous amount of water. Check toilets for slow leaks. You can actually do this by adding food coloring to the tank. If color appears in the bowl after 30 minutes, your toilet is leaking. A leaking toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day.

It takes about 70 gallons of water to fill a bathtub. To be more water-efficient, take showers instead of baths and take shorter showers.

Use a dishwasher and washing machine only when they’re full.
