Arguably water is one of our most precious resources. And when it comes to conserving water very few of us think of the importance for the future generations to have reliable clean water resources. The first line of defense is in your own home. Kitchens, Bathrooms, Laundry Plumbing systems are all utilizing water every day. There are ways to reduce water usage in these areas and they are pretty simple.
Turn off the water Are
you one of those that turns on a faucet and leaves the water running while you
brush your teeth. This is something we all do in the morning part of our
routine. And once you add up all the family members in a home as ink that is
running constantly can add up to many gallons of water simply running down the drain. After you wet your toothbrush, turn the faucet off and see what a
difference it makes in your water usage
Men be smart while shaving Once again here is an area we can
all conserve. While shaving isn’t a daily activity, (for some of us) it is
important to keep an eye on the faucet. If you leave a faucet open and running while
shaving the amount of water wasted can again add up to gallons. This will waste
water and increase your water bill considerably. If you tend to let the water
run while you shave in the morning, consider filling a bowl with water and
using that to shave with instead.
Showers vs. Baths. Soaking in the bathtub after a long day is a
great way to reduce stress and relax. But baths use considerably more water
than a shower. You can test this by closing the drain the next time you shower.
You may be surprised how little water a shower can consume.
Plumbing and Water Conservation |
Replace your toilet As part of a good and healthy water conservation routine replacing old appliances like toilets and making sure you have up to date plumbing systems like repairing leaks under sinks and making sure your tub and showers have water efficient heads on them. These can be simple ways to reduce water usage in your home.
Call a plumber Having a local plumber you can trust to assess any situations that may be contributing to an increase in your family’s water bills will give you a piece of mind that you’re doing everything possible to make certain our future generations have the reliable and plentiful water source for years to come.
