Top 10 Ways to Help Conserve Raleigh’s Water

Written by S. Beaumont and filed under Top 10 

Splash1. Replace your morning coffee with a swift slap in the face - be a friend and offer one to your co-workers as well
2. Delay doing the laundry until you’ve worn at least one of those “back corner items” that just never seem to make it into the rotation
3. Offer to share a shower with that cute guy/girl you haven’t had the nerve to ask out

4. Try to reason with your lawn - offer to spend more time together in exchange for half of its normal watering
5. If you have to wash your car, do it while parked on the grass and use the run-off to help water the lawn - while your at it, tie your t-shirt off at the midriff and give the neighbors something to talk about
6. Eat on paper plates and drink milk straight from the carton (finally, you have a reason!)
7. Cut down on toilet flushes and show support for your pets by urinating in the flower beds whenever possible
8. Don’t water your sidewalks or driveways while irrigating - your property line will not grow no matter how hard you try
9. Listen to music while in the shower - get out after 2 songs (Does not include Iron Butterfly’s “In A Gadda Da Vida” - 17 mins long)
10. Move your life savings from under your mattress to a water-safe bag within your toilet tank, displacing the water and reducing the amount used in each flush

    How about “Drink beer instead of water?”
