Composting is an ideal alternative and provides you with great compost for your yard.<\/p>\n
No one likes doing the dishes and now you have the perfect excuse for buying a new dishwasher. Studies show that using a dishwasher uses four times less water than hand washing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
If you don’t have a modern dishwasher, use a bowl in your kitchen sink to cut the amount of water you use while washing your dishes.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t waste water in the bathroom<\/p>\n
Take a shower instead of a bath and you can save up to 60 gallons of water<\/a> every time you wash.<\/p>\n
Modern low flush toilets typically use only 2 gallons of water compared to over 5 in an older toilet. A good toilet replacement can cut your water usage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
You can save up to 2,700 gallons of water by installing a low-flow showerhead<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Leaks in your home water system will waste water. A faulty faucet can waste as much as 3,000 gallons of water every year<\/a> and a shower head as much as 500 gallons per year.<\/p>\n
Great ideas on making the most of water in your garden<\/p>\n
Put down mulch in your front and back gardens to help absorb water. A mulched garden will also reduce weeds and conserve water, which can cut down on your water use.<\/p>\n
If you are not sure if your lawn needs to be watered, sprinkle it first with a bucket of water. If the soil absorbs it within 30 seconds, then don’t bother watering it at all.<\/p>\n
Your lawn and garden should only be watered when the soil is bone dry. If you are concerned with watering less often, consider installing a rain sensor on your sprinkler system that will turn off the system during a rainstorm.<\/p>\n
Collecting rainwater in water storage tanks will help you water your garden and reduce your bills at the same time.<\/p>\n
As you can see, there are many opportunities around your home where you can easily reduce your family’s water consumption without having to make significant changes to your lifestyle.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, with a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make amazing savings on your water bill. So what’s not to like about becoming more water-efficient?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
