Want to see that number shrink? Start by checking for leaks. A dripping faucet can waste 3,000 gallons a year. That’s like flushing a thousand dollars down the toilet—literally. Look for silent toilet leaks by adding food coloring to the tank. If water appears in the bowl without flushing, you’ve got a leak. Fix it, and your bill will thank you.
Next, install low-flow showerheads and aerators on faucets. They mix air with water so you feel like you’re getting a strong stream, but you’re using way less. It’s spa-quality savings. Also, run your dishwasher and washing machine only when full. Half-loads are the enemy of a cheap water bill.
And please, please don’t water your lawn during a rainstorm. I know it sounds obvious, but people do it. Don’t be that person.
