Your water bill is likely not a major worry for you. Other utility bills are much higher and water is a necessity, after all. In today's economy, however, all bills are fair game for reduction and water bills can be cut with little effort. Besides cash, you'll be helping to conserve water and save the planet.
1. Water consumption peaks in the summertime, as do your water bills.
2. Use a rain barrel to save water for your garden.
3. Use a broom, not a hose, to clean your driveway, sidewalk, garage floor, and deck.
4. Fill a pan or bowl with water to clean a few small items in the kitchen sink, whether dishes or vegetables.
5. Repair leaks in faucets or toilets.
6. Be sure all your faucets have aerators, the little screen-like devices that screw into the end of the spout to improve the spray.
7. Skip rinsing your dishes before you load them into the dishwasher.
8. Buy a water-saving showerhead for every shower in your house.
9. Replace your old toilets with new high-efficiency low-flush or dual-flush models.
10. Finally, don't buy bottled water.
