Reducing your home’s water usage is a great way to positively impact the environment and reduce your water bills, especially during the year’s hottest months. If you’ve been trying to save water by taking speedy showers, there might be a better way.
Here are some of my top projects for reducing water usage:
Reduce outdoor water consumption
A lot of summer water usage goes to the outdoors, and according to the EPA, as much as half of outdoor water usage ends up wasted.
Plant heat-resistant plants to reduce your water usage. Also, upgrade your irrigation system and collect rainwater to water your plants.
Consider watering your yard less frequently, and let your grass grow taller to prevent water from evaporating on hot days.
