Water-Wise Tips

Only one percent of the world’s entire water supply is available for human use. The rest is salty or locked up in icecaps and glaciers. This small one percent must satisfy the planet’s agricultural, manufacturing, community, household, and sanitation needs.

We actually drink less than two percent of our processed “drinking water” The rest goes on lawns, in washing machines, and down toilets and drains!

The water we use at home doesn’t just magically appear. Treated water is a carefully manufactured product, which arrives at your home only after traveling many miles of pipeline, and undergoing lengthy treatment processes. It’s a valuable resource that shouldn’t be wasted.

Is your plumbing system in the best shape to conserve water? The following tips may help you determine the answer to that question, and realize how much money you could be saving!

Replace regular toilets with low flow (1.6 gpf) models. This saves up to 350 gallons weekly.
If you have a pool, use a cover to slow evaporation. Bonus: a cover also keeps pool water cleaner and cuts the need for chemicals (saves up to 250 gallons weekly).
Replace old-fashioned showerheads with low-flow (2.5 gpm) models and save up to 230 gpw.
When doing laundry, never wash less than a full load (saves up to 100 gpw).
Repair/ replace leaking toilets (saves up to 100 g/day for each toilet).
Repair/ replace leaky faucets (save up to 100 g/day per faucet).
Many leaks in the house may be caused by a faulty pressure regulator. Have the water pressure inside your house checked. It should be lower than 80 P.S.I.
You can also save on your water bill by installing an irrigation sub-meter. With one of these installed, you won’t be charged the sewer service charge for any water used for irrigation (in DWP areas only).
