Conserving water should be a top priority for everyone. Not only does water cost you money to use in your home, it is vital to our planet’s environmental health. Did you know that 95% of water used in the U.S.in homes goes right down the drain? You can make small changes in your home to reduce water waste and save this precious resource. Here are some home plumbing water saving tips:
- Use water efficient appliances and fixtures. Water efficient faucets, showerheads, washers and other plumbing options can save thousands of gallons per year. Just changing one faucet to a water efficient model can save 1,000 gallons a year.
- Fix water leaks. A small plumbing drip or leak can waste a large amount of water and cause damage to your home. The average family wastes 10,000 gallons of water per year due to leaks. Whether it is a dripping faucet or a leaking pipe, get your plumbing issues fixed as soon as possible to reduce water waste. Your local plumber can fix those leaks in no time.
- Change your toilet. The biggest saver of water in a home is a water-efficient toilet. One low-flush toilet can save 24,000 gallons of water a year in your home. That alone can save you up to 18% off your water bill if you are on a city water system. Talk to your local plumber about installing a water-efficient toilet in your home.
Implementing these small, yet effective, changes in your home’s plumbing can save you plenty of money off your water bill and conserve water we need for the future.
