Water, A Precious Resource

While approximately 70% of Earth is covered by water, less than 1% is available for human use.

As Californians know, limiting water usage can become mandatory to survival.

Here are some ways to conserve water in your bath or kitchen:

  • Look for WaterSense labeled faucets, toilets and showerheads. WaterSense is a program by the EPA. Products bearing the WaterSense label have been independently certified to perform well; help save water, energy, and money; and and encourage innovation in manufacturing.
  • Waterโ€“efficient toilets, such as a lowโ€“flow toilet or high efficiency toilet, are a great way to reduce household water use.
    Toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average homeโ€™s indoor water consumption. Replacing older, inefficient toilets can save the average family of four at least 16,000 gallons and more than $100 per year in water bills, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
  • Dual-flush toilets have two flush options: a half-flush for liquid waste and a full-flush for solid waste.
  • Aerators on the kitchen faucet can reduce flows to less than 1 gallon per minute.
  • Low-flow shower heads save up to 2.5 gallons of water per shower
  • Be sure to test your toilet for leaks at least once a year.  Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the bowl without flushing, thereโ€™s a leak. Fix it and start saving gallons.
