Did you know that a faucet dripping once per second can waste up to 3,000 gallons of water in a year? A constantly running toilet loses up to 200 gallons of water down the drain. And, a showerhead dripping five times per minute wastes up to 500 gallons in a year. By simply fixing leaks, you’re putting money back in your pocket, but there’s so much more you can do.

Install low-flow fixtures and faucet aerators. Modern low-flow fixtures divide the water stream and introduce air to preserve the feel of more water while using less. Low-flow toilets create pressure for a more powerful flush with less water.

Upgrade to high-efficiency dishwashers and washing machines. Newer models use a fraction of the water and energy of older units, saving you money.

Insulate hot water pipes. Waiting for hot water to get from your water heater to the tap or shower wastes water. Insulate your hot water lines to reduce wait time and waste.

Practice better habits. Small changes in behavior can have big results. Take shorter showers, turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, only run full loads when washing clothes or dishes and watch the savings stack up.

You can save money by conserving water inside your house, which makes your home more efficient.
