Tips for saving water
• Limit non-essential uses like washing vehicles, driveways, sidewalks and buildings.
• Limit use of water for outside plants, lawn and landscape areas by watering only every other day or less.
• Avoid any use of water that results in flooding or run-off in waterways or hard surfaces like driveways or streets.
• Repair any plumbing leaks quickly and utilize water-saving shower heads, toilets, faucet aerators and other water-conserving appliances and devices. Report any suspected leaks in company-owned facilities immediately to the customer service center at 1-800-492-8373.
• Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or washing dishes in the sink.

TERRE HAUTE — Indiana American Water is asking its customers across the state to use water wisely after the Indiana Department of Homeland Security and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources issued a Water Shortage Warning earlier this week. The goal is to reduce water use by 10 to 15 percent by initiating voluntary conservation measures.
“While we are not currently experiencing any problems meeting customer demand across the state, we recognize the need to use water wisely now to avoid supply issues later, so we are asking our customers to think about how they are using water and to do what they can to reduce their usage while the drought conditions continue,” said Indiana American Water President Alan DeBoy,
DeBoy said Indiana American Water is regularly monitoring its facilities and sources of water to ensure the company can continue to meet customer and public safety needs.
