GBRA officials urge all individuals to conserve water throughout the summer months and suggest the following indoor and outdoor conservation tips:

Check local papers, radio or TV stations for drought restrictions.

If vehicles must be washed, do so in a grassy area instead of a driveway.

Report individuals or businesses suspected of water misuse to local utility officials.

Install low-flow shower heads and sink aerators. These items can be purchased inexpensively at local hardware stores.

Use dye tablets or food coloring to check for leaks in toilet bowls/tanks.

Make sure sprinkler heads face lawn and garden areas and have not shifted toward sidewalks and driveways.

Turn off water faucets while brushing teeth or shaving.
