Tips

Reducing Water Usage and Saving on Water Bills

  • Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your bill and water meter are tools that can help you discover leaks.
  • Run your washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
  • Set a timer when using the hose as a reminder to turn it off. A running hose can discharge up to 10 gallons per minute.
  • Use a hose nozzle or turn off the water while you wash your car, water plants, etc. You’ll save up to 100 gallons every time.
  • Convert your toilet to dual flush, which reduces the tank volume, lowers overall water usage, and can save you up to $60/year.
