Driftwood Water Company Voluntary Water Conservation

 Due to the lack of rain, and a seemly high demand for water, the Driftwood Borough Water Company is asking for a voluntary water conservation. There is a list of tips at the end of this. The Best way to cut down on your household’s usage is to fix suspected leaks. The Borough has been out looking and listening for leaks, and we notify you when one is found. You then have 15 days to repair that leak. Water I a precious commodity at this time in Driftwood – and your community needs your help to conserve and preserve our water supply. Leaks can account for, on average 10,000 galloons of water wasted in the homes every year. 

• Check for leaking faucets – then repair. A leaking faucet that drips at one drop per second can waste 3,000 gallons per day

 • Check and repair leaking toilets. A leaking/running toilet can potentially waste 4.5 gallons per minute, (that's nearly 300 gallons per hour, or 6,480 gallons per day)

 • Replace shower head(s) in your home, and take shorter showers

 • Don’t run the water while you brush your teeth

 • Repair all water leaks inside and outside you home

 • Minimize watering your gardens to early morning or late evenings when it is cool – helps in not wasting water through evaporation

 • Wait to wash laundry until you have a full load

 • Wait to run dishwasher until you have a full load 

• Take your car to a car wash, don’t wash it at home 

• No topping of swimming pools, fountains
