? Dual-flush toilets are another eco-friendly,
cost-saving option. The light flush uses 0.9
gallons of water, and the heavy flush uses 1.6
gallons. Using dual-flush toilets can save about
26-percent more water than low-flow, single-flush
models. 
? Consider using graywater, which is basically
wastewater from non-toilet plumbing systems, for
watering your lawns and gardens, toilet flushing
and other uses. Installing a graywater system
has the potential to save you 35 to 40 on your
water bill.
? Create a building-wide system for catching,
reporting and fixing leaks, which waste a lot of
water. Periodically remind your tenants to report
links to the buildings landlord or property
manager.
? Consider installing dishwashers. No really
as counter-intuitive as it may seem, dishwashers
use from 4.5 to 10 gallons of water per cycle, in
contrast to the 16 gallons used to wash an
average load of dishes by hand, according to an
Ohio State University study.
? Are you using sprinklers for irrigation? Drip
irrigation systems can use 25 to 75 percent less
water than sprinklers, and some say are better
systems for watering plants and gardens.
? Rethink your laundry area A national study
found that residents with in-unit clothes washers
used 3.3 times more water than residents in
apartments with common area laundry facilities.
Also, be sure to use high-efficiency machines,
which use 15 to 25 gallons per normal cycle, in
contrast to standard efficiency washers which use
3545 gallons.
