Earth Gauge: Don’t Labor to Save Water

by

The average household spends as much as $650 per year on its water and sewer bill. But did you know you could save about $200 per year by retrofitting with water-efficient fixtures and incorporating water-saving practices?

Viewer Tip: Looking for a little home improvement project this Labor Day weekend? Making some simple changes around the house can save water and money.  Just check, twist and replace.

 

  • Check toilets for leaks.
  • Twist on a WaterSense labeled faucet aerator.
  • Replace an old, water-hogging showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model.
