Caring for our Common Home: Water Saving Tips—Water Bills Tips

Does your summer water bill have you steaming? Here are a couple of things you can do to both lower your bill and help the environment:

1. Install faucet aerators in your kitchen and bathroom; a faucet aerator saves an average of 700 gallons of water a year- the equivalent of 40 showers.
   
   
2. Install a water efficient shower head. Based on taking a daily 8-minute shower, this saves 2900 gallons of water a year!

​YOU CAN DO THIS FOR FREE! Receive a free energy saving pack that includes both a kitchen and bathroom faucet aerator and a water-saving shower head as well as three 800 lumen LED lights. This is available to everyone through Focus on Energy.
