“In the Desert Every Drop Counts” is the City of Phoenix phrase to invite us to be more careful in the ways we use water.

What things can you do to not waste water?

For example, each time you brush your teeth, you should turn off the faucet while brushing. This way, you don’t waste about 16 liters of water a minute. I just learned this from the City of Phoenix website.

If you would like to learn more about saving water, go to www.phoenix.gov/waterservices/bewatersmart . Scroll down and click on “Learn all the ways to see water differently.” It is on a green color background. It will take you to the “Water Resources and Conservation” page. On the right upper side, it says: “Water Education from the Cloud.” Click on it to find interesting and educational videos, coloring books and games. It is fun to learn watersaving tips and find out how the water is treated in our city.

Please, let's enjoy our desert while being Phoenix Water Smart!
