Water
Conservation
There
are lots
of good
reasons
to learn
to use
our
water
resources
more
efficiently.
In
Texas,
our
conventional
fresh-water
supplies
are
already
75 to 80
percent
developed,
so it is
just
common
sense
that we
put
water
conservation
and
reuse
measures
into
effect –
not only
to
preserve
and
extend
limited
water
supplies,
but to
save
some
real
money,
too.
Water
customers
have a
lot to
gain by
using
water
wisely.
Consider,
for
example,
that if
everyone
cut back
just 10
to 15
percent
in
personal
water
use, we
could
save
billions
of
dollars
over the
next 50
years.
The
effort
to
conserve
water
requires
us to
change
some
wasteful
habits,
and it
must
begin
now.
Some
steps
are
simple:
don’t
leave
the
water
running
in the
sink,
for
example,
while
you put
toothpaste
on your
toothbrush
and
scrub
your
teeth.
Turn it
on for
rinsing
only.
Others,
like
landscaping
modifications,
can take
more
time,
thought
and
resources
to
accomplish.
But,
everyone
can
participate
by using
water
wiser in
some
way.
