After-Hours Emergency Calls
(water & sewer leaks only)
828-361-1083
-
Always turn taps off tightly so they do not drip.
-
Promptly repair any leaks in and around your taps.
-
Use an aerator and/or a water flow-reducer attachment on your tap to reduce your water usage.
-
When hand-washing dishes, never run water continuously. Wash dishes in a partially filled sink and then rinse them using the spray attachment on your tap.
-
If you have an electric dishwasher, use it only to wash full loads, and use the shortest cycle possible. Many dishwashers have a conserver/water-miser cycle.
-
When brushing your teeth, turn the water off while you are actually brushing. Use short bursts of water for cleaning your brush. (This saves about 80% of the water normally used.)
-
When washing or shaving, partially fill the sink and use that water rather than running the tap continuously. (This saves about 60% of the water normally used.) Use short bursts of water to clean razors.
-
Use either low-flow shower heads or adjustable flow-reducer devices on your shower heads. (They reduce flow by at least 25%.)
-
You can reduce water usage by 40% to 50% by installing low-flush toilets.
-
Wash only full loads in your washing machine.
-
Use the shortest cycle possible for washing clothes, and use the "suds-saver" feature if your machine has one.
-
Water lawns every three to five days, rather than for a short period every day.
-
Water during the cool part of the day, in the morning or evening. Do not water on windy days.
-
Do not over-water in anticipation of a shortage. Soil cannot store extra water.
