Look for Leaks

Is your water bill too high? If so, the first thing you can do is to search your home for any water leaks.

Each year, the average American household wastes 10,000 gallons of water due to a leak in their home. That’s a needless waste of both water and money. To eliminate this, search your house for any leaking faucets.

Once you discover a leak, start by shutting off the water to the faucet. Remove the faucet handle using an Allen wrench or screwdriver. Then, replace the old faucet cartridge with a new one and put your faucet back together again. Once you turn the water back on, your leak should be gone.

If you suspect you have a more complicated leak, don’t hesitate to contact a plumber. The price you pay for a service visit will be outweighed by your water bill savings in just a few months.

Monitor Water Usage

Looking for more ways for how to save money on your water bill? You can also try monitoring your household’s water usage.

Think about your normal shower routine. Do you let the warm water run over you for a few minutes when you first step in? Do you get distracted thinking about all the tasks you need to complete in the upcoming day and slow down your washing routine? Each second you waste in the shower equals more wasted water and a higher bill.

Instead, try setting a timer for tasks that involve water. Challenge yourself to take your shower three minutes quicker than usual or turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth. Then, encourage everyone else in your home to do the same — especially children. These simple actions every day can really add up.

Collect Rainwater

The final tip for how to reduce a water bill is to collect your rainwater.

If you value a green lawn or like to grow your own produce to save money, you probably use quite a bit of water. But instead of using your garden hose to water, you could be using rainwater that would otherwise be absorbed by the soil.

Purchase a rainwater tank or rain barrel that sits outside in your yard. Then, the next time it rains, this container will fill up with rainwater. You can use this water for your lawn and garden instead of increasing your water bill.

If this concept interests you, visit this site to learn more about rainwater collection tanks.

Now You Know How to Lower a Water Bill

Using these three simple tips, you now know how to lower a water bill.

Start by searching your home for any active leaks. Then, monitor your water usage and challenge family members to conserve water with you. Finally, consider collecting rainwater to keep your yard and garden green without wasting cash.

With all that cash you save on your water bill, you can fund your next DIY project. Head over to the Home Improvement section of this site to find inspiration to drive your water conservation goals.
