Water bills can be incredibly expensive, especially in the hot summer months. If you want to save money by cutting your water bill, scroll down to find some tips and tricks that could work for you!

Change Your Appliances

One way to start cutting your water bill is to change your appliances. Not all appliances are created equal. Unfortunately, many of the water-using appliances in your household are not built to save the maximum amount of water. Investing in appliances such as a low-flow kitchen faucet, shower head, and bathroom faucet are all ways to save on your water bill. These appliances limit the amount of water flowing through the pipe, and save about 30% of water compared to traditional faucets. You can also look into purchasing a faucet aerator or a dual flush toilet—these appliances will also limit water usage and help you save money.

Cut Waste

Taking steps to use less water is not only good for your wallet, it’s good for the environment too. Some easy ways to cut the water waste in your household include taking shorter showers; turning off the tap while washing your face or brushing your teeth; and only running the dishwasher or washing machine when they’re full. You can also reduce water waste by fixing your leaks. One drip per second adds up to about 19 liters of water each day. You should always look for the signs of a water leak.

More Efficient Lawn Care

Lawn care is probably one of the biggest parts of your water bill. If you water your lawn properly and only when necessary, you will be able to avoid water waste. There are many ways that you can use less water when caring for your lawn. Watering your lawn in the morning will allow your lawn to soak up the water before it evaporates in the midday heat. Additionally, aerating your lawn periodically will ensure that the maximum amount of rain water will soak into your lawn. This will also help you spend less effort watering your lawn. You should also check for leaks in your sprinkler system, which will definitely cause you to have a high water bill.

There are many other ways to conserve water, and these other options are also highly worth researching. However, changing your appliances, reducing water waste, and watering your lawn more efficiently are some of the most effective ways to save both your water and your money.
