Tips

Reducing Water Usage and Saving on Water Bills

  • Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you’ll save up to 150 gallons per month.
  • Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save up to 4 gallons a minute. That’s up to 200 gallons a week for a family of four.
  • Plug the sink instead of running the water to rinse your razor and save up to 300 gallons a month.
  • Turn off the water while washing your hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.
  • Take 5-minute showers instead of baths. A full bath requires up to 70 gallons of water.
  • Turn off faucets tightly after each use.
