Wally’s Water Wisdom- Five Water-Wise Holiday Reminders

Hi friends! Now that we are officially past spooky season and entering the holiday season, I wanted to share a few water-wise reminders to prepare you for your upcoming get-togethers. By following these tips, we can make sure our drains and sewer systems can enjoy the holidays too!

1. Thaw frozen foods in the fridge overnight instead of under running water.
2. Collect the water used to rinse any fruits or vegetables in a bowl instead of pouring it down the drain. Use it to water a plant or find a patch of grass that could use some TLC!
3. 
   Scrape leftover food scraps into the trash can instead of rinsing them off your plate with water. This ensures that greasy food won’t enter the drains and clog our sewer systems. For even more savings, consider turning the leftover scraps into compost for your garden!
4. Save the cleanup for your dishwasher! Make sure to wait to run your dishwasher until it is completely full.
5. Collect and cool any fats, oils and greases (FOG) before disposing of them in the trash can. Remember: No FOG down the drain!

That’s all I have for today friends! Remember to be sewer safe and water-wise this holiday season. I’ll see you all soon with my next drop of water wisdom!

Your friend,

Wally
