How To Save Water

As only 1% of the Earth’s water is available for drinking, it must be conserved as much as possible. To preserve water, positively impact the environment, and inevitably cut down on water bills, it’s essential to familiarize yourself with simple steps. Some tips to incorporate at home include:

Upgrade Your Toilet

Toilets alone use the most water, with each person using roughly 18-24 gallons daily. If your existing toilet is old or inefficient, replacing it with a new low-flow model can drastically lower the amount of water used with each flush. Ensuring any cracks or other structural damage is fixed will limit leaks and water loss.

Limit Your Time in the Shower

While a long, hot shower is a luxury at the end of the day, it is a recipe for water loss. A standard shower uses 2 to 5 gallons of water, but the total can add up quickly. A good rule of thumb is to limit showering to washing up and rinsing off, and playing a song that spans your desired shower duration can help keep you aware of how long you’re in there.

Turn Off the Water While Brushing Your Teeth

Keeping the water running while brushing your teeth may not seem like a big deal, but the amount of water wasted snowballs if you keep it on every time you do it. Turning off the faucet can help save up to 8 gallons of water daily.

Only Run Your Dishwasher & Washing Machine When Full

Dishwashers and washing machines are highly convenient household appliances, but they should never be taken advantage of. To avoid running more loads than needed, it’s best to only run your dishwasher or washing machine when it’s full.

Install Efficient Fixtures

Upgrading your showerheads and faucets to water-efficient fixtures can save you gallons of water daily. These fixtures are designed to limit the amount of water released when in use.
