Home Maintenance Tip

Conserve Water and Reduce Pocketbook Pressure!
You may love the forceful flow of water at your faucets, showerheads and toilets, but did you know that installing low-flow aerators could cut your annual water consumption by more than half? You can also conserve water and save money on your water bill just by adopting a few new habits:

  • While waiting for water to warm up, catch excess water in a bowl or bucket and use for houseplants or pets
  • Only run the dishwasher when it is fully loaded
  • Instead of using the in-sink garbage disposal, compost your food scraps
  • Simply cutting your shower by 2 minutes will save 1,000 gallons a year!
  • Turn off the water while you brush your teeth, shave, and while you lather up when washing your hands.
