If your current washing machine is dated, seriously consider updating it with water efficiency in mind.
Another appliance to look into is a modern dishwasher. Were you aware that manual dishwashing consumes more water that a water efficient dishwasher? You could save yourself time, energy, and water by acquiring a new dishwashing unit.
Lawn Watering
Most counties are out of the lawn watering ban thanks to the end of our long-lasting drought. Nevertheless, a careless approach to lawn watering can be an expensive enterprise. One water conservation study showed that nearly 55% of residential water use is outside of the home (ie. lawn watering, car washing, window washing, etc.). There are more water efficient ways to water lawns like:
- Using drip irrigation systems
- Reusing storm water for irrigation
These strategies are just the tip of the iceberg. There are a variety of ways to improve your home water system. However, to do so, it is best to have a full home plumbing audit. Once this is done, a plumbing professional will share with you all the ways that you can reduce your water use.
