Customer Service Residential Business Community Environment About Us
Environment > Conservation - Business > Water > Indoor Tips
 
  • Serve customers water only upon request. If a customer does not want water, you save what is in the glass as well as the water it takes to wash it.
  • Don’t use running water to defrost food. Instead, try using the refrigerator, microwave or a filled sink.
  • Make sure dishwashers are full before they are used.
  • When using a conveyor belt as part of dishwashing, make sure that water isn’t running when nothing is on the belt.
  • Use dishwater run-off when running the garbage disposal to avoid using fresh water.
  • Try to use soft water for making ice to reduce the bleed-off that is necessary to make clear cubes. 
  • Use ice flakes instead of ice cubes; they take less water to make.
  • Install high-efficiency aerators on all faucets.
