Consider this simple water conservation tip from “Take Care of Texas!”

As you wash and put away your winter wardrobe, wash only full loads and use cold water. Washing full loads, as opposed to partial loads, can save more than 3,400 gallons of water each year. Using cold water instead of hot or warm can save more than $30 annually. Hang a clothesline and air-dry your clothes. Clothes dryers account for six percent of residential electricity consumption.
