• Get a low flow shower head
• Limit your shower time as best you can
• Use a toilet that has a low per flush volume, or add a brick to the tank to reduce the per flush use
• Keep a container of soapy water on hand for the days dishes (This one might seem gross, but a non issue if you have good anti-bacterial soap)
