Description
The Borough of Delaware Water Gap is asking its customers to voluntarily conserve water.
Water Saving Tips Inside the Home
• Turn the faucet off while brushing your teeth, rinse with a glass of water.
• When shaving, use a sink filled with rinse water.
• Take short showers instead of baths.
• Fill the sink with water to pre-rinse dishes before putting them in the dishwasher.
Water Recycling Tips
• Place a bucket in the shower to catch water that is wasted while you adjust your shower water temperature and recycle this water for plants or other watering uses.
• Other sources of water that can be recycled easily for other watering purposes include:
• Pet dishes
• Flower vases
• Leftover water from cooking or drinking
• Dehumidifier water
• Water Saving Tips Outside the Home
• Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways, steps, and sidewalks.
• Wash the car with water from a bucket. If a hose is used, control the flow with an automatic shut off nozzle.
• Water the lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day and avoid windy days.
• Use soaker hoses and trickle irrigation systems to reduce the amount of water used for irrigation.
• Use mulch around shrubs and garden plants to reduce evaporation from the soil surface and cut down on weed growth.
