Save More Green On Your Water Bill This St. Patrick’s Day
This St. Patrick’s Day, homeowners can stuff their wallets with a little more green by cutting water bill costs. Going “green” not only saves money but also helps to reduce the home’s environmental impact.
As the price of water utilities rises, homeowners can use the following three tips to keep their wallets from being pinched this year. Keep reading to find out the tips and tricks that professional plumbers recommend for saving water.
Turn Off the Tap Whenever Possible

Doing the dishes, washing hands, brushing teeth, and other tasks can waste a lot of water when people are not mindful. While in the shower, homeowners can save water by shutting off the showerhead while shampooing or shaving.
Installing a touchless faucet can help homeowners save water. Touchless faucets use motion sensors to start and stop the water flow automatically so the faucet will stop running when not in use, preventing the homeowner from accidentally leaving it on.
Do Baths or Showers Save More Water?
The answer depends on how long the showers are and what kind of showerhead is used. Homeowners can give their bathroom plumbing an eco-friendly update by switching to a low-flow showerhead.
Short showers are the most efficient at saving the most water. A five to ten-minute long shower saves more water than taking a bath, but a long shower wastes more water. For the most water savings, homeowners should take short showers and cut the showerhead off while shampooing or shaving.
Practice Mindful Flushing
Being careful about what gets flushed down the toilet can help prevent a clogged toilet. Clogged toilets can waste a ton of water as the toilet struggles to flush. Because shower plumbing is often connected to the rest of the bathroom, a clogged toilet can also cause problems for the shower plumbing hardware or the bathroom sink.
Good flushing practices are essential for water conservation. The toilet should never be used as a trashcan, and waste products should be disposed of in a wastebasket. The only thing that people should flush down a toilet drain is toilet paper. Flushing the toilet less will help conserve water.
