HOW TO STAY IN HOT WATER
Check the temperature control on your water
heater. Generally, 140° to 150° is about right.
Fix leaky faucets. One fast-leaking faucet can
waste 1,000 gallons of water a month.
TURN IT OFF
Turn off lights, TV's, radios and small appliances
when not in use. Before leaving for vacation,
turn off things you won't need. Turn off the air
conditioner (unless you have a mildew problem).
