Water is a precious commodity, an element which allows the preservation of life.

With water being a fundamental component of human existence, it is important that we conserve this finite substance. Not only is this limited resource essential to life, it is also rising in cost every year causing Americans to dip deeper into their pockets. There are several ways in which you can conserve this cherished asset in order to alleviate its impending shortage and decrease the cost of your water bill.

1.  Take shorter showers
The average shower in America uses 17.2 gallons of water. By shortening your daily shower to just 5 minutes, you can save up to 2,000 gallons of water per year!

2.  Inspect your shower head
The flow rate of shower heads manufactured before the early ‘90s is typically 5.5 gallons per minute. Newer shower heads have a flow rate of 2.5 gallons per minute or less.

3.  Check for leaks
Check faucets, pipes and toilets for leaks. With just a drip, up to 50 gallons of water can be wasted per day.

4.  Don’t let the faucet run
Whether you are brushing your teeth, shaving or washing dishes, keeping the water running wastes up to 2 gallons per minute.
