Do you turn off the water when you brush your teeth?

[jwkelly]

Are any of you such hardcore water conservers that you drink your own urine ?   I had  a quarter of a whole gallon of milk once and had to go bad then I got really thirsty so,but then you have to gargle with mouthwash,but it wasn't bad.Not a turn on like a golden shower can be but not the worst taste.

Yes.  I fill a bathroom cup with water to rinse my mouth out so when I dab the toothpaste with a little water, I shut it off afterwards.  I brush my teeth for a timed 3min and there is no way I am running water for that whole time.  I turn it back on to rise out the toothbrush (of course) but other than that, I don't let it run.

I always keep water running but I am lucky that water is part of our rent.  We have all utilities included including 120 channel cable, pool. and internet.

Owners always notice the water bill stats they get because it comes out of their pocket and if abused they get ya.

You really should break this habit. I usually turn off the water when brushing my teeth. We are experiencing water shortage and wasting resources is bad karma. There are people in poorer countries who don’t have access to clean water. They often have to walk long distances just to obtain water for their daily use.

I only turn on the water when I need to rinse.

[InfuseMe1]

always, been doing that for years....   

[Rahmanh]

Yes, because our DWP utility bill is very expensive to waste water.

[surveypro2016]

I started shutting it off while brushing my teeth about a year ago.

I try to remember to do this, so as not to waste water but I admit I am guilty more time then not of leaving it running; will try to do better1

[gaby_ro_2004]

I do.I am afraid to get the bill every month.

[mrisha]

Yes, I do.  There is a lot of water being wasted and also I hate paying big water bills.
