Water and Wastewater Savings: Don't Pour Money Down the Drain
Studies show that the typical single family home in America uses 69.3 gallons of water each day-much of it wasted by inefficient habits. A
leaky faucet can also waste more than 3,000 gallons of water each year at a rate of one drip per second.
The good news is that a few simple changes in how you use water can have a big impact on your bill. By installing more efficient water fixtures and regularly checking for leaks, households can reduce daily usage by about 35 percent. But small changes like taking shorter showers or not letting the water run while you brush your teeth can also really add up.
Because wastewater charges are based on your actual water usage, conserving water saves both on your water and wastewater bills.
KUB also offers information about pool and summer watering credits, secondary water meters, and irrigation systems to help customers save money.
Save Money With a Secondary Water Meter
A
secondary water meter can help customers with pools or frequently used irrigation systems save on their wastewater bills.
