Tip - Cut Down Your Water Usage with One Easy Action

Saving Water

With this one simple action, you can conserve 64 cups of drinkable water every day.

Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth.

Unfortunately, 42% of Americans leave the water running as they brush their teeth. That means each individual wastes almost 900 cups of water every week. And that water costs. If every member of a family of four remembers to turn off the water while brushing their teeth, the family water bill will be decreased by about 13% annually. That adds up to a savings of about $65. 

And that buys a lot of toothpaste!
