Water Conservation to reduce your monthly water bill

Leaking toilets consume lots of water. Toilets use about 40% of your total water usage. Installing a new, efficient toilet or just a new fill valve and flapper, can save you lots of money over the course of 1 year.

New shower heads can produce full spray action and save 6 to 8 gallons of water per minute. Replacing your shower heads can save you up to $300 per year.

Extend the life of your water heater by reducing the temperature setting below 120° F. It will save energy as well. Also, draining your water heater every 6 months will extend its life. Changing the anode (sacrifice) rod in your water heater each year is arguably one of the best things you can do to extend the life of your water heater. Energy costs for an electric water heater will be about three to four times as much as a gas water heater.

A dripping faucet is costing you a lot of money. Water waste from faucet drips could be from 100 to 180 gallons per day. This repair can save you over 4500 gallons per month.
