We're also on Instagram, Facebook, X, and YouTube. See you next time for more LA this week. Challenge yourself to conserve. Turning off the faucet when you brush saves up to ten gallons of water. Taking a five-minute or less shower saves up to fifteen gallons of water. Washing only full loads of laundry saves up to thirty gallons of water. And fixing a running toilet can save up to fifty gallons of water. Keep it in mind all day, every day. It's water conservation the LA Way. Fifth day of August in the year twenty twenty-five.
