How to Conserve Water at School

Indoors

Report any leaky toilets, faucets, or drinking fountains

Turn off the sink while soaping up your hands

Do not let the tap run for a long time

If you see a faucet that is dripping, turn it off

Install faucet aerators

Outdoors

Mulch gardens to retain water

Install rainwater tanks, and use the water collected

Avoid sprinkler runoff - make sure the water falls on grass or gardens

Replace plants that need a lot of water with native plants

Water school lawn when it is cool and evaporation is low (morning or evening)

Use a broom instead of a hose to clean sidewalks and driveways
