Simple Tips for Water Conservation and Lower Water Bills 

St. Patrick's Day is this month, and while most celebrate by donning green clothing and feasting on Irish food favorites, why not get creative and embrace the luck of the Irish by thinking green? Environmentally friendly plumbing practices can help conserve water and lower water bills. Read on to learn tips for going green with plumbing and water conservation for St. Patrick's Day!

Upgrade to Water Saving Plumbing Fixtures

showerUpgrading to water-efficient plumbing fixtures is a simple but effective step that homeowners can take to make their plumbing more eco-friendly and save money. By doing so, they can conserve water, reduce their utility bills, and decrease their environmental impact. Homeowners may consider the following water-saving fixtures:

  • Water-saving toilets: These toilets use less water per flush and can save a significant amount of water over time. Some models even have dual-flush options that allow users to use less water for liquid waste.
  • Low-flow showerheads: These showerheads reduce water usage while still providing a satisfying shower experience and not sacrificing water pressure. They're available in various styles, so homeowners can choose the one that best fits their preferences.
  • Faucet aerators: These add air to the water flow, reducing water use without sacrificing water pressure. They're easy to install and can save a significant amount of water over time.
  • Touchless faucets: These faucets turn on and off automatically and hands-free, saving water by turning off as soon as it’s not in use. They also prevent the spread of germs.  

Practice Eco-Friendly Habits

Nurturing a “green” lifestyle does not necessarily require significant investments or drastic changes in our daily habits. Even minor adjustments can make a difference and save both water and money. Simple steps such as turning off the faucet when brushing teeth and shaving, taking shorter showers, and only using dishwashers and washing machines when they are full can help conserve a lot of water. 

Other actions, like fixing leaky faucets and running toilets as soon as possible, can also help save huge amounts of water while cutting down on water bills. By incorporating these simple habits to conserve water at home, homeowners can reduce their environmental footprint while saving money in the long run. 

What You Should and Shouldn't Flush

toilet Flushing the wrong items down the toilet can harm the environment, as some materials can pollute the ocean and harm wildlife. Knowing what should and shouldn't be flushed is also important to prevent clogs and clogged toilets. Clogs can cause water waste in homes because clogged lines can cause leaks, burst pipes, and frequent toilet clogs, which typically require multiple flushes during the unclogging process. 

People should avoid flushing things like wipes, feminine hygiene products, medication, and paper towels, as these materials can cause blockages in the plumbing and contribute to environmental pollution. On the other hand, toilet paper and human waste are safe to flush. By being mindful of what is flushed, homeowners can help protect the environment and prevent water waste and plumbing problems in their homes.
