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

And then what will come out of your water spout
