Just realized how much water I was wasting by letting the tap run while brushing my teeth

My kid pointed it out after a lesson at their school in Boise, so I started using a cup instead. Anyone have other small bathroom habit changes that add up?

My buddy's wife timed his showers and he cut his water bill by a third, lol. They got competitive about it.

Switching to a cup is a great start. Try turning the shower off while you lather up your hair and body, which saves a huge amount of hot water. I started timing my showers to keep them under five minutes, and it's surprising how fast you can get clean. It feels a bit weird at first, but you get used to it and the lower water bill is nice. Fixing a drippy faucet immediately is another one, because those drops really add up over a week.

those drops really add up over a week" is so true... i used to ignore a drip in my kitchen sink because it seemed tiny. then i saw the water bill spike and felt so dumb for not fixing it sooner.
