Post-Thanksgiving Water Efficiency Tips

November 26, 2025

As the holiday season approaches and kitchens become busier, many residents wonder whether it is more efficient to wash dishes by hand or use a dishwasher. The answer depends on how dishes are washed.

Hand Washing

  • Can be more efficient only when the faucet is turned off while scrubbing.
  • Rinsing dishes together helps reduce water use.

Dishwashers

  • Typically uses less water than the average hand-washing.
  • Run full loads for the highest efficiency.

Both methods can save water, but dishwashers are usually the more efficient option.

Wishing our community a safe, restful, and Happy Thanksgiving!
