Resolutions to Save Water
American Water emphasizes that saving water is not only good for the environment but also saves money. Here are some simple yet effective practices to implement at home to reduce water consumption:
Water-Wise Practices
Implement these strategies to use water more efficiently:
- Run the dishwasher and washing machine only with full loads. Utilize water-saver options when available.
- Install low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators which help minimize water flow without sacrificing pressure.
- Regularly inspect toilets, faucets, and pipes for leaks. Prompt repairs can prevent wasting valuable water.
Pipe Protection Strategies
Protecting pipes during colder months is crucial. Here’s how:
- Insulate exposed pipes in unheated spaces to prevent freezing. If any pipes are located in cabinets, leave the doors open to let in warmer air.
- In freezing temperatures, allow a small trickle of water to flow to avert freeze-ups. Collect any drips for future use.
- After thawing, consider scheduling a plumbing inspection to check for leaks that may have developed.
