Many people look for ways to save water during hot spring and summer months.  In addition to conserving an important resource, these plumbing tips can help you cut your water bill too!  Here are a few simple ways to save water and money this year.

Water Saving Tips:
  • Dishwasher – If you have more than two people in your house, using the dishwasher will actually save you water!  Surprisingly, it uses more water to wash dishes by hand.
  • Shower – Always pick showering over taking a bath.  Low-flow showerheads can reduce your water consumption to just 10 gallons per shower.
  • Toilet – Did you know that flushing the toilet uses more water than anything else in your home?  That is why it is so important to replace older toilets and to fix any leaks.
  • Faucets – A dripping faucet can waste up to 2700 gallons per year.  Fixing a leaky faucet can save you a lot of water and money.
  • Lawn Care – Spread mulch around flower beds, trees, shrubs and gardens.  This will help retain moisture so that you don’t have to water your plants as often.
