WATER WISE Laundry 

There are several ways you can save water when you do laundry. Here are some top water saving tips:

Run your clothes washer only when it's full, or use the proper water level or load size selection on your clothes washer.

Check faucets, pipes, hoses, washers, and fittings for leaks; fix them when you find them.

If you have a sink in your laundry room, install a faucet aerator.

• Faucet aerators are free for City of Olympia sewer customers.
• To request a water saving kit that includes a faucet aerator, e-mail us (be sure to include your name, address, and phone number) or call 360.753.4444, ext. 8390.
