Every drop of water counts in Arlington!
The city of Arlington has one of the premiere water departments in the state. The proof is in the drinking glass. The Arlington water department has recently received the prestigious award of the annual Statewide Best Tasting Water contest.
Delicious drinking water is just one service of the many they provide to Arlington businesses and homes.
Another valuable service offered is their water conservation program. We’ve included a list of some of their water conservation tips that you can apply in your home and office.
Tips for water conservation in the house or office
In the kitchen
- Run the dishwasher only when you have a full load of dirty dishes.
- Keep a container of cold water stored in the refrigerator for drinking.
- Wash fruits and vegetables in a pan of water, then recycle the water on your potted plants.
- Repair leaking faucets.
In the bathroom
- Take shorter showers or turn down the water pressure in the faucet.
- Retrofit plumbing with new low-flow water fixtures.
- Place a plastic bottle in older toilet tanks to reduce the water volume level.
- Do not flush items such as bugs, facial tissue, cigarette butts, or other trash down the toilet.
- Do not fill the tub all the way.
- Repair toilets that “run” continuously.
In the laundry room
- Wash clothes only when you have a full load of dirty laundry.
