When hand–washing dishes or cleaning fruit and vegetables, don't run the water continuously.
Wash them in a partially filled sink, and then rinse them quickly under the tap.
If you have an automatic dishwasher, fill it up, and use the energy saver option or shortest
cycle necessary to get the dishes clean.
When boiling vegetables, conserve water by using just enough to cover them and use a tightly
fitting lid.
Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator, instead of running the tap until the water
gets cool each time you want some. Be sure to rinse the container and change the water every few
days.
Use a water flow reducing attachment on your sink faucets.

Find your water meter, and record the reading late in the evening and again
early the next morning. Was there any leakage during the night? If so, track it down and have
it repaired.
