Why Save Water?
Water is a precious resource. Even though our water sources in some parts of the country can replenish themselves through precipitation, our changing climate, growing population, and ever-increasing thirst for water threaten these supplies. In fact, from 1950 to 2000, our country’s population doubled, but our demand for water more than tripled. Water efficiency is a way for families to use less water without sacrificing their quality of life. Taking simple steps such as finding and fixing leaks and looking for the WaterSense label when shopping for plumbing products can make a big difference.
