 Shower Shower
Take a shower rather than a bath. A five-minute shower uses about 10 gallons of hot water. A bath can use 20 gallons of hot water or more, and cost twice as much as a shower.

Save hot water by replacing shower heads with water-saving models. The latest models perform so well, you can’t tell they are low flow. You’ll save on your water bill, too. Check the Water Bureau for more water-saving tips.
