One of the hallmarks of living in the Bay Area is a commitment to ecology and the environment.

With this in mind, our eco-friendly apartments in San Mateo want to make that commitment as easy as possible to keep.

Low-flow fixtures, for example, help keep water usage in check. Here are a few ideas to help you do your part:

• Report leaks and drips for repair – A dripping faucet is a huge waste. Our maintenance team will be happy to take care of it for you.
• Take 5-minute showers instead of baths – A full tub is about 70 gallons of water.
• Re-use your towels – Instead of throwing them into the laundry, hang them up to dry. You will save a lot of work, as well as water.
• Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of under a running faucet.
• Monitor your water bill to control use – You will catch bad habits that way.
• Collect the water from the shower – The cold water you run can be used to water the plants.
