With the lack of rain that we've had this summer we thought it would be interesting to find out if people in the panhandle have started to conserve water?

If you haven't, here are some ways to start conserving:

- Turning off the water while brushing your teeth can save a family 5 to 10 gallons per day.

- To conserve water in the kitchen, don’t let faucets run for washing or rinsing. Instead, fill a container with water or use the sink by stoppering the drain.

- To conserve water outside, water only when necessary. It takes 660 gallons of water to supply 1,000 square feet of lawn with 1 inch of water. Water the lawn in the early morning to avoid evaporation losses.
