Preserve Fresh Water, Install a Low-Flush Toilet
According to the World Wildlife Fund’s Freshwater Program, there are quite a few things that the average homeowner can do to save not only money, but also the environment. And it’s as simple as making a few plumbing repairs.
Preserving Fresh Water — WWF’s Work and What You Can Do to Help
Install a low-flush toilet. Doing so for a family of four will save 50 gallons of water per day. If your home was built before 1992 and the toilet has never been replaced, then it is very likely that you do not have a water-efficient 1.6-gallon-per flush toilet. You can check the date stamp inside the toilet by lifting the lid and looking at the back of the toilet at the manufacturer’s imprint of the make, model and date of manufacture.
Install a water-efficient showerhead. Did you know that a 10-minute shower with an inefficient showerhead can use up to 50 gallons of water? Installing a water-efficient showerhead can save up to 6,000 gallons of water a year.
Fix leaks. Check appliances that use water for leaks, and repair them quickly.
