| In the Bathroom |
|
For a typical family, more water is used to flush the toilet than for any other indoor purpose! |
| Install Efficient Toilets |
|
You can significantly reduce your water use and save money on utility bills by replacing toilets that were installed before 1994. Each toilet you replace will save you $50 to $125 and up to 10,500 gallons each year, depending on utility rates and usage habits. To help customers select toilets that flush well and maintain their water savings over time, the Saving Water Partnership has developed a list of FlushStar toilets, which cost $70-300.

| Fix Leaks |
Even if you can't hear your toilet "running," there's a good chance water is silently leaking from the tank into the bowl-and down the drain. All toilets eventually waste water as the parts in the tank wear out. To check for leaks inside your toilet, try the quick and easy food color test.
