Some faucets and faucet accessories (such as aerators) are high-performing, water-efficient fixtures. If every household in America installed a water-efficient faucet or aerator, we could save more than 60 billion gallons of water annually.
Save Water, Save Money
The average household spends as much as $500 per year on its water and sewer bill. By making just a few simple changes to use water more efficiently, you could save about $170 per year. If all U.S. households installed water-efficient appliances, the country would save more than 3 trillion gallons of water and more than $18 billion dollars per year! Also, when we use water more efficiently, we reduce the need for costly water supply infrastructure investments and new wastewater treatment facilities.
Water Efficiency Tip of the Month:
Americans use large quantities of water inside and outside of their homes. A family of four uses 400 gallons of water every day. This amount can increase depending on location; for example, the arid West has some of the highest per capita residential water use because of landscape irrigation.
WaterSense, a partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, helps conserve water for future generations by providing information on products and programs that save water without sacrificing performance. In fact, the average home, retrofitted with WaterSense labeled toilets and bathroom faucets or faucet accessories, can save more than 11,000 gallons per year. If one out of every 10 homes in the United States upgraded to WaterSense labeled fixtures, we could save more than 120 billion gallons and more than $800 million annually.
