Save Water

While You’re HOME

A Water Conservation Coloring Book


Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more kids activities and tips.
Turn Off the TAP

Whether washing your hands for 20 seconds or brushing your teeth for
two minutes, you don’t have to keep the faucet running. Save 200
gallons of water in a month by turning off the tap while you scrub.
Load Up on Laundry

More kids at home means more laundry. Save energy by


washing clothes in cold water, and conserve water by only
running the washer with full loads.
Let Your Dishwasher Do the Work

Did you know it takes less water to run a full dishwasher than to wash
dishes by hand in the sink? Save more water by scraping plates into
the trash rather than rinsing them before loading the dishwasher.
Be a Leak Detective

Have a parent help you take the top off the tank at the back of the toilet.
Place a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If the color shows up in
the bowl, you might need a new flapper. Don’t forget to flush after!
SAVE While Showering

Showers use less water than baths. Order a WaterSense


labeled showerhead to replace your current model, and you’ll
save water and energy without noticing a difference in flow!
WATCH What You Flush

Only three Ps should go in your toilet—pee, poo, and (toilet) paper.


Toilet paper is designed to dissolve, but disposable wipes and
paper towels don’t break down and can clog toilets and drains.
Safely dispose of them in the trash.
Curb Outdoor Water Waste

Watering the yard is a great way to get outside in the fresh air. Just
don’t water in the middle of the day when temperatures are highest,
or the sun will evaporate water before it reaches your plants.
