Water Saving Tip

Interested in new ways to save water? Consider water-efficient appliances!

Water-efficient toilets use 1.28 gallons or less per flush while old, inefficient toilets can use as much as 6 gallons per flush. According to the EPA, “toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for 30% of an average home’s indoor water consumption.” Therefore, replacing an old toilet might be the simplest way to save water!
