The Southwest Florida Water Management District’s (District) Governing Board declared April Water Conservation Month at its March 25 meeting. April is historically one of the driest months of the year and typically marks the peak demand season for public water suppliers. With these 10 simple tips, you can lower your monthly water bill and do your part to save hundreds of gallons of water: INDOOR Only run your washing machine and dishwasher when they are full. Use the shortest clothes washing cycle for lightly soiled loads; normal and permanent-press wash cycles use more water. Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator or microwave, not under running water. Scrape, don’t rinse your dishes before loading in the dishwasher. Install high-efficiency showerheads, faucets and toilets.
