(Offices & Residential) Replace the bottled water coolers with tap-mounted water filters and fill reusable containers instead of using paper/plastic cups. A good filter setup is still more energy-efficient than shipping hundreds of pounds of water. The larger Brita filters are square and hold a large amount of water so they can be filled at night. This also eliminates the hassle of ordering and switching out the 5G plastic bottles.
(Offices & Residential) If you haven't already, consider purchasing a refillable water bottle to make drinking tap water easier. We recommend stainless steel bottles, which won't leach harmful chemicals if heated or after long use.
(Offices & Residential) Report leaks! Be diligent about checking for and reporting leaks in bathrooms and other facilities.
(Residential) Take fewer and shorter showers, with cooler water.
(Residential) Turn off the water while brushing your teeth or soaping your hand/face.
(Residential) If you have a dishwasher, only run full loads.
(Residential & Office) If you do dishes by hand, fill the sink with water. Running water is very wasteful. Make sure to only turn on the hot water when you need it.
(Residential & Office) Do not use toilets as a trashcan. Each flush uses 5-7 gallons of water.
