Helpful hints and ​tips for reducing water usage in your home:
Did you know?
  • A running faucet uses about a gallon of water per minute
  • If a faucet drips at a rate of one drop per second, you can waste 2,700 gallons per year.
  • Toilets with leaky float valves can waste up to 200 gallons of water a day
  • Even a pinhole leak, such as in a washing machine hose, can waste up to 170 gallons a day X 6 months = 30,600 gallons @ $2.53/ 1000 = $77.42
  • Check for leaks in a toilet by adding a few drops of food coloring to the tank.  Coloring will appear in the toilet bowl if it is leaking.
  • When replacing an old toilet, purchase a water-efficient model.
  • Don’t let the water run in a bathroom sink when brushing teeth or shaving.
  • Run the washing machine only when it is fully loaded.  Check the hoses for cracks that could result in leaks.
  • Turn faucets off firmly.  Check and replace any worn-out fixtures, washers, O-rings, and hose connections.
  • Run the dishwasher only when it is fully loaded.
  • Garbage disposals require a lot of water to operate properly; avoid using them when possible.
  • With pools and spas, repair any leaks.  An inch a day loss in a pool can amount to over 600 gallons.  Use a pool cover to reduce the loss of water by evaporation.
  • Always use a hose with a shut-off nozzle installed, and shut off hoses when not in use.  This is one of the biggest sources of wasted water.
  • Read your water meter before and after a 2-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter doesn’t read exactly the same, you probably have a leak.
