• Washing machines can use as much as 30-35 gallons (114-133 liters) of water per cycle.

• Consider purchasing a new, high efficiency model that will use an average of 30% less water and 40-50 % less energy.

• Wait until you have a full load of laundry before running the machine to save both energy and water.

• If you can't wait for a full load, use the right water level to match the size of the load.

• Install low-flow aerators, if you have faucets in your laundry room.
