Tips to Shrink Your Property’s Footprint Through Water Conservation

  1. Run the dishwasher only when it’s fully loaded. Instead of washing your dishes by hand, running a full dishwasher can save up to 20 gallons of water.
  2. Flush your toilet less (at your own discretion!).
  3. Upgrade old shower and faucets with newer, more efficient models. ComEd often gives these out for free as part of their residential programs. It can save your family hundreds of gallons a year.
  4. Low-flow showerheads can reduce a family’s household water usage by thousands of gallons a year!
