Install newer model toilets that use less than 1.6 gallons per flush. Can pay for itself over time.

Let's Do The Numbers

We Sure Use A Lot Of Water

  

Each American uses an average of 82 gallons of water a day at home.


The average family spends more than $1,000 per year in water costs, but can save more than $380 annually from retrofitting with WaterSense labeled fixtures and ENERGY STAR certified appliances.


The average family can waste 180 gallons per week, or 9,400 gallons of water annually, from household leaks. That's equivalent to the amount of water needed to wash more than 300 loads of laundry.


Household leaks can waste approximately nearly 900 billion gallons of water annually nationwide. That's equal to the annual household water use of nearly 11 million homes.


The Savings Really Add Up

Running the dishwasher only when it's full can eliminate one load of dishes per week and save the average family nearly 

320 gallons of water annually.


Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can save 8 gallons of water per day and, while shaving, can save 10 gallons of water per shave. Assuming you brush your teeth twice daily and shave 5 times per week, you could save nearly 5,700 gallons per year.
