Your toilet and your shower are the biggest drains on water in your home. Showers use almost 17% of a typical household’s indoor water use.
Your sink faucet can cause a spike if it’s dripping. Those drops can add up and waste 3,000+ gallons a year or enough to take more than 180 showers. Invest in a toilet that conserves more water. New toilets typically use between 1 to 2 gallons of water each time you flush, but older models can use as much as 6 gallons per flush. A WaterSense-labeled toilet can cut your annual water usage by 13,000 gallons.Select a high-spin cycle in the dryer. This will remove more moisture from fabrics and reduce dryer time, which uses electricity.
