Also, we only flush our toilets once daily unless it's brown. Paper goes in trash and taken out every other day. If there will be quests we use normal flushing procedures in the d stairs bath until they are gone.

Big fan of the toilet suggestion, as it is one of the biggest consumers of water in the house. Read elsewhere that a family of four, if they replaced their old 3.5 gallons / flush model with a newer 1.28 gallons / flush model, they would save 68 gallons of water per day. That's almost 25k gallons a year. Great list. Big fan of the toilet suggestion, as it is one of the biggest consumers of water in the house.

This is something I've been working on lately too. It's so easy to waste water and not really even notice it. Another thing that can help if you just can't seem to shut the water off is making sure you have an aerator on every faucet. Look for ones that have the lowest GPM (gallons per minute) number. Low flow shower heads are good too. Great tips! This is something I’ve been working on lately too. It’s so easy to waste water and not really even notice it.

It's similar to brushing teeth, some people will leave the water running while brushing their teeth, when it's not really being used and just going to waste.

This lets you shut the water off on the shower head, without having to mess with the hot and cold valves. This way, you can lather up with the water off, but don't have to worry about changing the water temperature... In regards to #3/8, I have a shower head that has a shutoff switch on it.
