lwxx: Orange County Residents are feeling the impact of a drought that has plagued our state over the past five years. We are experiencing little to no rainfall and a high demand for water. Our situation is urgent and all citizens must take an active role in reducing water use. Conserving water now can lessen the consequences later. Drought Hotline 644-3333 Kitchen • Eliminate leaks by replacing old gaskets. A dripping faucet can waste 3,600 gallons a year. • Install faucet aerators. • During water restrictions use bottled water, paper plates, and single-service drinking and eating utensils. • Keep a pitcher of cold water in the fridge, instead of running water until it is cold. • Don't leave the water running while rinsing dishes. • Don't use a garbage disposal. Certain food scraps can be composted or wrapped in newspaper and placed in the garbage. • Only use dishwasher with full loads, and use the'water-saver'setting if available. • Don't rinse dirty dishes before loading into dishwasher; scrape clean and let the machine do the rest. • Don't thaw frozen food under running water. • Use bagged ice.
