For the week of Monday, September 28:

Here are more tips for water-wise living in Southern California. The next time a plumber visits, have them check your household water pressure, and if it is more than 80 psi, ask the plumber to install a pressure regulator. Secondly, put food coloring in the toilet tank and see if it enters the bowl without flushing. If it does, replace the flapper. A leaky toilet wastes 30-50 gallons per day. Last, use the garbage disposal less and garbage can more. Consider composting. Look for composting workshops on your city's calendar.
