💧Conserve water. Save energy. Lower bills. Protect our limited supply.

🌍 Why should you conserve?

• Conservation reduces energy use and water bills.
• Conservation lessens the strain on WASCO’s distribution system thereby improving supply for everyone islandwide.

✅ Quick Wins

• Fix leaks fast: A dripping tap wastes up to 2 gallons/hour; a leaking toilet can waste up to 40,000 gallons in 6 months.
• Check toilets: Add food dye to the tank—if color shows in the bowl, you have a leak.
• Smart flushing: Place bottles/bricks in the tank to cut flush volume.
• Meter check: If your meter moves when no water is used, you have a leak.

🏠 At Home

• Keep showers short.
• Don’t leave water running while lathering, shaving or brushing teeth.
• Reuse grey water - sink/laundry water can be used for plants.
• Evening watering - less evaporation, more absorption.
• Practice rainwater harvesting: Install tanks and guttering for storage and non-potable uses.

🚗 Outdoors

• Ditch the hose, use a bucket to wash cars and water plants.
• Report water losses/leaks. Spot broken pipes, open hydrants, or faulty sprinklers? Report it to WASCO's Control Room @ 4820052 (North) or 482-0051 (South).
• Community support - share tips with neighbors, encourage conservation at workplaces and schools.

👨‍👩‍👧 Teach & Practice

• Show children how to turn taps off tightly.
• Match laundry load to water level.
• Soak pots/pans instead using running water.
• Don’t let water storage containers overflow.

🌊 Remember

Every action matters. Every drop counts. Conserve water because it’s the right thing to do - whether at home, work, or even at hotels. Together, we can secure Saint Lucia’s water future.
