BATHROOM[INDOOR TIPS]
#23 If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20 seconds, replace the showerhead with a WaterSense® labeled model.
#24 Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save up to 150 gallons per month.

#26 Toilet leaks can be silent! Be sure to test your toilet for leaks at least once a year.
#27 Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the bowl without flushing, there's a leak. Fix it and start saving gallons.

#33 If your toilet was installed before 1992, purchasing a WaterSense® labeled toilet can reduce the amount of water used for each flush.
