Repair leaky faucets immediately. A leaky faucet can waste gallons of water.
Hot water leaking at a rate of 1 drip per second can waste up to 1661 gallons of water over the course of a year, and waste up to $35 in electricity os natural gas. Fixing leaks is a cost effective and easy way to save energy.

A 10 minute shower can use less water than a full bath.
By adding a 2.5 gallon-per-minute (low flow) shower head, a 10 minute shower will use about 25 gallons of water, saving you 5 gallons over a typical bath. A new showerhead also will save energy/ up to $145 per year on electricity cost. This beats both the bath and an older showerhead.
