    There are a ton of ways to conserve water. Some of them would be

    *Cut shower time

    *Turn the water off while brushing your teeth

    *If you wash your dishes by hand: fill up the sink, wash, then rinse. Don't do each one individually.

    *Don't wash your dishes by hand? Only run your dishwasher when it's full!

    *Run your sprinklers at night or early in the morning.

    *Don't wash off your driveway

    *Make sure all your sprinklers are correctly set up to prevent wasting the water.

    *When you run a bath, plug it then let the water run and adjust the temperature as it fills.

    *Install a rain sensor on your irrigation controller so your system won't run when it's raining

    *Teach your children to turn off faucets tightly after each use

    *When doing laundry, match the water level to the size of the load

    There are a bunch more ways, but these are the simplest. :) Hope I helped!
