Residents and Businesses:

• Minimize overall water use;
• Follow local water use restrictions; 
• Fix indoor leaks, such as from toilets, faucets, and showers, which result in more than 60 percent of indoor use; and,
• For larger buildings and businesses, conduct water audits to identify areas of leaks and potential water conservation opportunities; 

Immediate Steps for Communities/Municipalities:

• Limit or prohibit washing of hard surfaces (sidewalks, patios, driveways, siding); personal vehicle or boat washing; and, 
• Establish water-use reduction targets for all water users, identify top water users and conduct targeted outreach to help curb their use.
