City of Durant
Kelli Simmons
Here are eight things Durant’s residential utility billing says you can do to start conserving water today. And bonus – these easy habits and light maintenance around the house today could mean a lower bill tomorrow.
1–Wash only full loads of dishes and laundry
2–Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving
3–Choose showers over baths
4–Fix leaky sinks and running toilets
5–Collect rainwater for irrigation in a screened container (to prevent mosquito larvae growth)
6–Use mulch to retain water in your landscaping
7–Water the lawn only when necessary and in the early morning or late evening
8–Check your sprinkler system for leaks and make sure it’s set correctly
