A Homeowner's Guide to Water
posted at 2018-10-17
Water is one of the most important things that comes into and goes out of your house. The amount of water your household uses impacts resources elsewhere such as the water supply. The quality of water that leaves your home also can impact resources in an environmentally unfriendly way such as when someone flushes unused medications or pours unsafe chemical solvents down the drain.
In addition, your home's water usage can affect your home's energy efficiency. If you run your dishwasher or washing machine when they aren't full, you waste electricity as well as water. Water conservation is not only good for the environment, but it also can be a good way to save money on your energy bills.
