Water conservation is extremely important. Here are some ways you can do your part:

Use biodegradable soaps and detergents.

LPJ Plumbing Tips
Check your water meter during a period when no water is being used. Note the meter reading and check it 8 to 10 hours later. If the meter has moved, this indicates a possible undetected water leak, which should be repaired.
Toilets consume more than 40% of your total water usage. Installing a new toilet flapper and fill valve will keep your toilet running efficiently.
Conserve energy by checking the temperature setting on your water heater. It should not exceed 120°F, or the medium setting on older models.
A dripping faucet can waste as much as 150 gallons of water per day, or 4,500 gallons per month. Repair the faucet to save water and reduce your water bill.
Replacing an old showerhead can save up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute without sacrificing spray performance at low or high water pressures.
