Is Water Conservation a Good Habit?
Water conservation is definitely something we have read about or have heard something about over the last two decades, but do we really practice efficient water usage? How will conserving water help our septic system? . . . The more water a household conserves, the less water enters the septic system. In the USA the typical single family home uses almost 70 gallons of water per person per day. If we stop to consider all the showers, laundry, dish washing, toilet flushing or hand washing we should be able to see how the daily gallons used can add up quickly. This average indoor water usage doesn’t even take into consideration leaking faucets or toilets. Leaky toilets can waste as much as 200 gallons each day.
