What are some simple water-saving tips I can use at home?
A. Faucets and showerheads all have regulating mechanisms built into them to prevent an unnecessary amount of water use; thus, saving you money. You can save more money on your water bills by alleviating all dripping faucets and running toilets. Consider changing your water-usage habits to eliminate extra expense and wasted energy. You may consider taking shorter showers and turning off the water when lathering up. Don’t let the water run continuously when you’re brushing your teeth, shaving, or doing dishes. Avoid using the toilet as a trash can; every toilet flush you eliminate can save between 1.5 and 7 gallons of water per flush. Set your washer’s load size to the exact size of the load and try to wash only full loads. You can also save energy by using cold water. When purchasing a new washer, look for one that conserves water and energy and has a suds saver attachment. Be mindful of the dishes you use while cooking and let pots and pans soak before scrubbing to reduce dish washing
