If you run small loads of laundry throughout the week instead of running full loads, you are wasting a ton of water. Even brand-new, energy- and water-efficient models still use a lot of water, around 27 gallons per load (vs. 54 gallons in older models). While that's a significant savings, it's still a lot of water. Waiting for a full load can save you water, energy and money in the long run.
