Water & energy conservation are extremely important. Here are some ways that you can keep your money in your pocket.

Toilets consume more than 40% of your total water usage in your home. Replacing the flapper and fill vlave will keep your toilet in good working order. Another way to conserve water is to replace your old existing toilet with a new low flush toilet. The ones available today are much improved and work better than when they were first available on the market.

Conserve energy by checking the temperature setting on your hot water heater. It should not be above 120 degrees F or medium on older models. This is also a good safety tip if you have little ones in your home.

Do you have an old shower head? There are new ones on the market today that can save up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute without sacrificing that nice spray you enjoy.

A dripping faucet can waste as much as 20 gallons of water each day, or 600 gallons per month. Although this seems like a small drip - have it repaired as most times this is an inexpensive and easy fix to an expensive problem.
