By
using water wisely, you can save money and help protect our environment. There
are many ways to increase water efficiency in your home, such as detecting and
fixing leaky faucets, installing high-efficiency clothes washers and toilets,
and watering the lawn and garden with the minimum amount of water needed. Since
watering the landscape with an automatic irrigation system is likely the single
largest use of water in the home, you can dramatically improve water efficiency
by using proper irrigation and scheduling techniques such as cycling the
sprinklers.
Using water-saving techniques not only can save you hundreds of dollars per year
but also can reduce the amount of pollutants entering rivers, lakes, and
streams. In addition, efficient water use can reduce water and wastewater
treatment costs and the amount of energy used to treat, pump, and heat water.
And it could help to ease the burden on water resources during drought
conditions.

reduce your water bill.
