Water Conservation
Nowadays water conservation is a hot topic. Everyone seems to have their own ideas for the best ways to keep their water usage low. It might surprise you to know that the average American uses around 100 gallons of water every day. If consumption continues at this rate, the United Nations predicts that one out of every three people on earth will live in water-stressed conditions by the year 2025. This daunting prediction shows why it is so important to come up with some solutions. The goal of this blog is to give you some ideas on how to reduce your personal water consumption and be more mindful of water conservation.
Fix Leaks as They Happen
Even a small leak can lead to an absurd amount of wasted water. A leak of one drop per second results in a waste of 2,700 gallons each year. That is roughly seven gallons every single day.

Turn Off the Water When You’re Not Using It
When brushing your teeth or shaving, turn off the water when you don’t need it. This could save hundreds of gallons a week.
Let It Fill Up!
Never run your dishwasher or washing machine unless it is full! They use 12 gallons and 47 gallons of water, respectively. Running each just once a week totals 3000 gallons of water every year!
Use Mulch!
Here is a tip for outside: use mulch where appropriate. This keeps the ground cooler & reduces evaporation. This tip can drastically help your water conservation effort.
