Stop those leaks!
Check your indoor water-using appliances and devices for leaks. Many silent leaks allow water, and your money, to go down the drain. Studies have shown that homes can waste more than 10 per cent of their water to due leaking, which costs both you and the environment.
Replace your old toilet, the largest water user inside your home.
If your home is more than about five to ten years old, and the toilet has never been replaced, then it is very likely you do not have a water-efficient, 6-litre (1.6-gallon) per flush toilet. Even some newer homes still have high-flush toilets. The volume per flush is often printed at the back of the seat, near the base of the tank or the seat hinge. Learn more about toilets and get help purchasing the right water-efficient toilet for your home.
Replace your clothes washer, the second largest water user in your home.
Energy Star™ -rated washers that also have a water factor at or lower than 9.5, use 35 to 50 per cent less water and 50 per cent less energy per load. This saves you money on both your water and energy bills. Learn more about energy-efficient appliances.
