WATER CONSERVATION TIPS

• CHECK YOUR TOILETS FOR HIDDEN LEAKS. TANK TO BOWL LEAKS CAN WASTE ABOUT A QUART OF WATER WITH EACH FLUSH. PLACE A FEW DROPS OF FOOD COLORING IN THE TANK. WAIT AN HOUR TO SEE IF THE COLOR APPEARS IN THE BOWL. IF IT DOES, YOU HAVE A LEAK. YOU SHOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY.

• TURN OFF THE TAP WATER WHILE YOU SHAVE OR BRUSH YOUR TEETH.

• TAKE SHORTER SHOWERS.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT WATER QUALITY PLEASE CALL THE WATER PLANT AT (215) 679-2012 OR BY EMAIL AT egbwater@verizon.net
