Our Top Water Saving Steps
1. Reuse it: in house drain off water (from boiling eggs/pasta, from rinsing dishes, from washing veggies, etc) is placed in a reserve bucket by the door - when full, it is taken out to a garden plot for watering.
2. Refuse it: refuse to --let water run when brushing teeth, lathering soap on hands, rinsing/washing dishes, when shaving.
3. Reconsider it: reconsider the length of a shower, the fill line of the tub, how often hair is washed/shaving is done, etc.
4. Restrict it: unnecessary washing (laundry, dishes, and such), how much water we use cleaning/refilling water tanks, water gardens (we already evaluated the garden and developed a limited plan)
5. Reserve it: in gallon jars indoors, in water barrels near barn, greenhouse, backdoor; in frozen containers
6. Review it: as we go through the day we try to be conscious of our water use and the importance of it; always determining if we need to cut back further.
7. Respect it: clean, consumable water is a gift from God; prayerfully express gratitude for the fresh clean water we have.
It's not exhaustive and it's not perfect, but it is the plan as of today. Now, I'm off for a little last trip before the summer semester starts---see you tomorrow.
