Pasco County Utilities wants to urge people to conserve water whenever possible, bringing awareness to “Imagine a Day Without Water” on Oct. 23.
The day is meant as a reminder for how important water is to our daily lives.
Most people cannot imagine a single day without water, or they expect that clean water will always come out of their faucets.
Access to clean water should never be taken for granted, as it contributes to the health and safety of everyone.
Pasco County Utilities encourages families to spend at least one day thinking about and tracking the amount of water used in a single day.
Conservation efforts, as a community, can ensure a future where clean water is available each and every day.
Pasco County Utilities offers these suggestions to help curb water consumption:
- Use a dye test to check toilets for leaks.
- Turn off the water while shaving, washing your face, or brushing your teeth.
- Take shorter showers.
- Plan ahead on thawing meats or frozen foods and don’t use running water to do so.
- Scrape plates over the trash can instead of pre-rinsing.
- Operate dishwashers only when they are fully loaded.
- Repair dripping faucets.
- Insulate water pipes.
