15 Oct Celebrate Shower Better Month: Save Water and Energy
Want to reduce your water and energy bills? Celebrate Shower Better Month! This October, the Environmental Protection Agency reminds homeowners that you can save water and energy by replacing old showerheads with more efficient models.
Showering is one of the largest sources of water use in the average home. It accounts for nearly 17% of indoor water use! Showers also use energy. Every time we shower we use water and energy to heat and deliver the water to the showerhead.
By simply updating your showerhead, you can save an average of 2,900 gallons of water and the amount of electricity needed to power a home for 13 days. This equates to about $70 in energy and water savings per year for the average family!
