Strategy 1: Fix Leaks Early
Replacing a faulty toilet flapper can save you up to $150 per year in water and energy costs. To fix leaks, try tightening the supply line or replacing it if necessary.
Strategy 2: Install Low-Flow Fixtures
Install low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets to reduce water consumption while still maintaining a comfortable temperature. According to the EPA, installing low-flow fixtures can save up to $100 per year.
Strategy 3: Use a Water-Efficient Drain System
Install a drain trap or install an existing one with the lowest possible slope. A clogged drain system can waste up to $50 per month in water and energy costs.
