Keep water in the refrigerator and save

This is part of a weekly feature in Home & Garden, highlighting ways residents can save water.

▪  Keep a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator.

This little habit encourages you to stay hydrated while saving water, too. By filling a jug once, you don’t have to run the tap for water to get cold whenever you want a refreshing glass. Show your drought sensitivity every time you get a drink of water. This tip saves time, too.
