DON'T BE WATERLESS !    WATER LESS, BUT WATER SMART.

FBMUD 81 requires a lot of energy to purify and distribute water to residents. Saving water, especially hot water, can save you money and can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  Typical ways to save are:

1. Don’t let the water run while brushing your teeth or shaving.
2. Don’t use your commode for a wastebasket for toiletry items.
3. Repair all leaky faucets and commodes immediately. One leak can waste 200 gallons of water per day.
4. Limit flowerbed watering to once every 7 days.
5. Reduce lawn sprinkling during rainy periods.
6. Install water-saving showerheads.
