A typical family does 400 loads of laundry per year using 40 gallons per load in a top-loading washing machine. Switching to a front-loading washer can save 7,000 gallons of water per year. Dishwashers use as little as 1.5 gallons per cycle, and buying Energy Star products is recommended. A leaking toilet can waste 200 gallons of water daily, so checking for and fixing leaks is important. The document provides tips for saving water through appliance choices and leak detection from a guide called "Save Water Together" by Krystle Ramos and Parthena Georgiades.
