| Holiday Water Saving Tip from ABCWUA
The holidays usually mean family gatherings, lots of cooking and baking, and plenty of cleaning. You can save water in your home by only running your dishwasher when it's full! There is also usually no need to pre-rinse your dishes; just let your dishwasher do its job and conserve this precious resource. For more ideas on water conservation during the holidays and beyond, visit: www.abcwua.org |
