Nugget Markets is onboard the sustainability train, and that includes implementing water-saving procedures in our stores. We have installed hundreds of low-flow aerators on faucets throughout our stores, saving up to 75% of our water use in these areas. We have established practices that minimize the use of water when washing dishes and cleaning. And we are making water use a big part of buying decisions when it comes time to replace equipment and machinery.
Water is scarce and Nugget Market is doing what it can to be part of the solution. We have installed hundreds of low-flow aerators on faucets throughout our stores, saving up to 75% of our water use in these areas. We have established practices that minimize the use of water when washing dishes and cleaning. And we are making water use a big part of buying decisions when it comes time to replace equipment and machinery. Every little drop counts. At your home, there are practical ways that you can reduce your water footprint. When washing dishes, don’t let the water run. Fill one basin with wash water and the other with rinse water. Fix that leaky faucet! One drip every second adds up to five gallons of water waste per day. Add mulch around your plants and allow your grass trimmings to fall back on the lawn. This will help keep the ground moist and reduce the amount of watering you need to do. For more water saving tips, visit www.bewatersmart.info and let’s beat this drought together!
