Saving Water
June 1, 2007
Water conservation is a hot topic and as a homeowner there are some ways in which you can conserve water usage and perhaps even reduce your water bills.
Walk around your home and check all your faucets for drips and leaks, inside and out. You can also reduce water usage by retrofitting your kitchen and bathroom faucets with aerators. Aerators introduce air into the water stream, which allows for good pressure with reduced water usage. Generally they are available at Home Depot, Lowes and hardware stores. and just require screwing in on any type of faucet with internal or external threads.
Showerheads and toilets can be replaced with low-flow designs. Replacing showerheads and older toilets can be real water savers. In fact, some California counties and cities require the replacement of toilets at point of sale if they are not of the low-flow design.
This weekend do your inventory and save water and money by correcting your drips.
