3 Key Ways to Conserve Water in Your Home

There are areas that suffer from drought from time to time, so conserving water is very important. Even if you don't live an area that suffers from drought, using your water wisely can help with your utility bill. In this blog, Culligan at the Lake of the Ozarks would like to give you 3 key ways to utilize your water conservatively. 

3 Key Ways to Conserve Water in Your Home

1. Turn off the tap while you are brushing your teeth.

Turn off your water while you are brushing your teeth. Doing this can help you save water. Did you know that the average faucet releases 2 gallons of water per minute? You can save up to 8 gallons of water every day just by turning off your tap while you brush your teeth, at least if you brush you brush your teeth for the recommended 2 minutes. This rule can also go for gentlemen who shave at the sink. Rinse your razor in a pool of water in a plugged sink instead of rinsing it under running water every time.

2. Load your dishwasher correctly.

Loading your dishwasher incorrectly can lead to still-dirty dishes and your dishwasher having to use extra water to wash your dishes. There are wrong ways and right ways to load your dishwasher. For example, some common mistakes when loading your dishwasher can include:

• placing car-covered dishes everywhere
• putting protein-crusted dishes anywhere
• placing your spoons where the tops touch eachother
• overloading your dishwasher
• not following directions

3. Fix your leaky sinks and running toilets.

Did you know that a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water each day? Also, at one drip per second, a leaky faucet can leak 3,000 gallons in a year. If your toilet is running or your sink is leaking, we recommend you call a plumber as soon as possible. Getting your toilet and sink fixed as soon as possible can not only help prevent a more expensive utility bill, but also it can help prevent even more costly repairs from happening.
