The dripping faucet was fixed with careIn hopes that water supplies would not run bare

x 2,700 =

And because it saved 2,700 gallons a yearIt certainly brought a lot of cheerAll the children were sleeping in their bedsClean from a short shower not a bath

Conservation OpportunityBecause they didnt just let conservation opportunities

come and pass

Even though it saved 40 gallons a year It didnt seem like it was enoughShort by 20% of goalGoal of Savings ingsStat artThey wanted to save much more of this so-called water stuff

WATER JAR?????+ =

Low - Flow

They started using a low-flow faucet and showerheadBecause it saved them approximately 1.5 gallons per minute they saidAnd by only washing full loads in the dish and clothes washerThe savings of water piled up in an incredible blur

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$They switched over to a toilet and dish and clothing washers that was very water efficient

And can you guess what? The results were still sufficient!

PREFORMANCE TESTWater EfficientThen there was the yardBut saving there wouldnt be hard

Per week

Per weekBefore they started savingAfter they started savingAnd by not watering their lawn as many timesIt saved them quite a few dimes

But that really didnt seem like that was all they could doBecause the time for people to act was way overdue

+ act = Due January 1, 1950And so they thought itd be coolIf they brought the idea to their school

And after only a few days

The school was saving water in the same ways!When the time to plant new treesCame around in the springPlanting little water needing treesWas just the perfect thing

They even wanted to get their dads office in it too

Because they need more help If they wanted to save the earths blue

The company said yesThey would use water less

WATER

USAGEAnd now its your turn because of our concern

To Save WaterThat one day water may run out

And then what will come out of your water spout
