Quick Tips for Conserving Water in your Home:

  • Check your home’s water pressure to make sure it is below 80 pounds per square inch. Anything above this number can be destructive to your home’s plumbing system and lead to an over usage of water.

  • During a time when you are not using any water check your water meter. Re-check the meter reading again after eight hours. If the meter is different it may mean there is a water leak that needs to be fixed.

  • Over 40 percent of your home’s water usage is due to flushing your toilets. By installing a new flapper and fill valve it will help your toilets run more efficiently.

  • A new showerhead can help you save up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute while showering and will not effect your water pressure.

  • Repairing all your leaky faucets can save up to 150 gallons worth of wasted water each day, and 4,500 gallons per month.
