Reducing your water bill, even by a small amount each month, can have a significant impact on your wallet. The water heater repair team at Lonneman Plumbing have helped homeowners reduce their water usage in Edgewood, KY. Try any of these techniques to easily save on your water bill, and the planet will also thank you for reducing your water waste.

How to Reduce the Water Bill

1. Use a (Full) Dishwasher

Washing dishes by hand wastes an incredible amount of water. According to the Conserve H2O, running your dishwasher for a full cycle uses the same amount of water you use in just four minutes of handwashing your dishes. Depending on the energy star rating of your dishwasher, it uses five to 10 gallons of water per cycle. Fill your dishwasher completely before running it to maximize your water and energy usage.

2. Fix Leaks

Even the slowest drips in your house can waste a lot of water since those small drops add up every day. According to the USGS Water Science School, one faucet dripping just once per minute wastes 34 gallons of water each year. Imagine how much water is wasted in your home if you have multiple faucets with faster drips. Calling in a plumber for leak repair can pay for itself in reduced water bills.

3. Get Water Heater Repair

A broken or inefficient water heater can waste a lot of energy and water alike. Look for signs of a leak in the system. If there’s any pooling water, get this fixed right away. While you bring in a plumber for water heater repair, have them install a heat trap at the same time, which will save your energy bill too.
