Don't leave hot water running when shaving or rinsing dishes, and take quick showers or shallow baths. This will reduce the amount of energy needed to heat the water and save on your water expenses, too.

Reduce Hot Water

Wash clothes in cold water and/or install a low flow showerhead.Using cold water saves a significant amount of energy. Clothes last longer and colors stay brighter. Line drying clothes saves even more energy. Switching to low-flow showerheads will use about six gallons less water per minute, dramatically reducing the amount of water and heat used by a shower.

Conserve Water

Water is a limited resource in the West, and conservation is a critical concern. Do one of the following: change your faucet aerators to low flow to save 55% more water and energy, plus a water savings of over 12,000 gallons per year; take a shorter shower (if all Denver residents reduce their shower time by 45 seconds, we could collectively save over 400 million gallons of water each year); check for leaks by putting food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
