Here are a few money saving tips with water at your house to help you save on water and help save you some cash.
1. If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down. I know you are probably saying, eeeeewwww! But, every time that you are able not to flush, you save on water and sewer charges. Obviously, you only want to do this if you are the only one using a specific restroom.
2. If you have an older home or apartment, invest a few dollars and buy low flow shower heads and aerators for your faucets. They make 1.5 and 2.0 gpm (gallons per minutes) for your bathroom faucets and are cheap to buy. I installed it myself after going to Home Depot and buying them for a few bucks each.
3. If you have an automatic sprinkler system, cut the watering time by a few minutes. Every minute less is money saved.
4. Fix that broken sprkinler! Leaky sprinklers equals leaky pockets and you are wasting money.
5. Buy an egg timer and use it to time your shower. I set mine for 5 minutes and I have already cut more than 20 bucks alone off of my water bill. I love long showers, but now I need to pinch every penny.
