3 Water Conservation Tips

Whether it’s taking shorter showers, or using less water to clean fruits or veggies, there are many quick and easy ways you can cut down on water usage. Clean drinking water shouldn’t be taken for granted. Start limiting unnecessary water use with a few simple tips.  

  1. Check For Leaks: A leaky faucet will cause extra water usage. For example, if you put drops of food coloring in your toilet tank and it shows up in the bowl without flushing, you may have a leak. Leaks from your toilet can get up to 100 gallons of wasted water a day. Faucet pipes can waste up to half as much water as a toilet, but it’s still important to check pipes around your home for leaks. 
  2. Geothermal Systems: If you want to go the distance for conserving water, then consider getting a geothermal system installed. A geothermal system a gas furnace that can efficiently heat and cool your home and water. It can save you time and money on bills. Save up to 60$ on savings in your energy bill with a geothermal system. 
  3. Turn Off The Tap: One of the easiest ways to decrease the amount of water used at home is by using less water in basic day to day tasks and turn off the tap. For example, you could shorten your shower by 5 minutes or turn the sink off while brushing your teeth. These are just small ways to use less water than can will eventually add up to a lot. Here are some other ways to save water: 
    • Turn off excess water while washing fruit
