Water use skyrockets in the summer — more showers, more laundry, more yard work. Here are six quick plumbing hacks to help you save water and money all season long:
1. Fix That Leaky Faucet
One drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year. Most leaks are simple and inexpensive to fix.
2. Install Low-Flow Showerheads
Modern low-flow heads cut water use in half without sacrificing pressure. Bonus: you’ll save on your energy bill too!
3. Only Run Full Loads
Wait until your dishwasher or washing machine is full to run a cycle. It saves gallons every time.
4. Shorten Showers
Challenge your family to shave just 2 minutes off their showers. You’ll see the difference on your next bill.
5. Water Lawns Early or Late
Midday watering evaporates fast. Stick to early morning or evening to make the most of your hose.
6. Check Toilets for Silent Leaks
Add a few drops of food coloring to the tank. If color seeps into the bowl without flushing, you’ve got a leak.
Small habits add up to big savings. If your water bill seems high, call Greater Works Plumbing for a water-saving inspection!
