Conserving Water in the Home

Water conservation is important in Florida, where rapid population growth puts pressure on the state’s water resources. Here are practical ways to use less water at home.

Fix Leaks Promptly

A dripping faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year. A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons per day. Fixing leaks is the highest-impact water conservation step you can take.

Upgrade to Efficient Fixtures

WaterSense-labeled faucets, showerheads, and toilets use significantly less water without sacrificing performance.

Be Smart With Irrigation

Outdoor irrigation accounts for up to 50% of residential water use. Water in the early morning to reduce evaporation, and consider a smart irrigation controller.

Simple Habits

Turn off the tap while brushing teeth, run full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine, and take shorter showers. Air & Energy’s plumbers can help with fixture upgrades. Call 941-778-0773.
