Kitchen Tips

Faucets consume about 16 percent of the water used inside your home. Installing efficient faucet aerators can reduce faucet water use by 50 percent.

Your kitchen faucet should not have a flow rate of more than 2.5 gallons per minute. The Southern Nevada Water Authority (SNWA) provides a free indoor water audit and retrofit kit to SNWA member agency customers.

Save water—use the dishwasher

When used properly, dishwashers can be more efficient than hand washing. Only run the dishwasher when it's completely full, and use the water-level settings for the most efficient run.

If you don't have a dishwasher, here are some easy ways to save water:

  • Fill your sink with water for rinsing.
  • Don't run the water without plugging the sink.
  • Turn faucets off when not in use.
