Water Bills Beware: Part III
Every day you probably use more water than you need. A few simple adjustments can make all the difference.
Always turn off the water when brushing your teeth, washing your hands, or shaving. Doing all three could save approximately 500 gallons of water each week for a family of four.
Outdoors, make sure hot water pipes are insulated, spigots are winterized, which prevents pipes from freezing or bursting, and that all your hoses have spray nozzles that prevent water from flowing when not needed. If you have fountains or ponds in the garden, be sure to use recirculation pumps.
