Now think
about this: you can save five gallons of
water a day by installing a low-flow
toilet. You can save as much as 80 gallons
of water a day by installing a low-flow
shower head. If you turn off the water
while brushing your teeth, you can save four
to ten gallons of water a day. It’s
something to think about!
