    With the challenging economic times, everyone is going through some hurdles, and sorting inflated bills is the last thing you want to do. Electricity, garbage collection, and water are some must-have bills for every household. It is impossible to survive without water, which means it must be part of your monthly bill. What should you do to use water sparingly and cut the bill without compromising your hygiene?

    The first step to saving water is getting yourself a top-quality water purifier and filling all the leaks in your water system. Here are more tips to help you save water and cut your bills significantly.

    1. Check and fix all leaks 

    If you want to cut your monthly water bills, you should find out if there are any leakages in your water systems. Inspect the kitchen sinks, shower, and toilets for any leaks. Fixing leakages in your water systems also ensures you get clean drinking water at home.

    For your toilet, you can put some food coloring in the toilet tank. If the food color appears in the bowl without flushing, it means the bathroom has a leakage that needs immediate attention. Call your plumber to have it fixed and save up to 100 gallons of water every day.

    2. Turn off the faucets 

    Leaving your faucet running as you wash the dishes is one habit you must avoid if you want to save water. Whether you are brushing your teeth, washing your face, or rinsing, you should not let the water flow needlessly. On average, your bathroom faucet runs at 2 gallons of water per minute. That means when you don’t turn off the tap while you shave or brush, you waste your water.

    3. Double-dip your dishes 

    Too much water goes to waste in the kitchen sinks when we leave the faucet open. You can save water by double-dipping your dishes. Fill one sink with soapy water for washing the dishes and the other sink for rinsing. You are likely to use half the amount of water you would use otherwise when you double-dip your dishes. If you have a single model kitchen sink, you can use a large bowl for rinsing and washing your utensils.

    4. Use low-flow equipment

    A significant percentage of your indoor water consumption goes to the bathroom and the kitchen. That means you should choose the best flash toilets and kitchen faucets for your home.

    Avoid the conventional older toilets that spend more gallons of water per flush and go for low-pressure flush toilets to save water. Replace your bathroom showerheads with those that use 2 gallons of water per minute or less.

    5. Water your garden by hand 

    Watering your backyard garden with a hose increases your outdoor water consumption. You are likely to use 30% less water when you water your garden by hand and avoid the automatic irrigation system.

    You can also invest in a weather-based irrigation system for your backyard garden and reduce your water consumption. Weather-based irrigation systems only water your garden when it is necessary. Replace the mist-style sprinklers with the modern rotator sprinkler heads and cut your monthly water consumption.
