Conserve Water and Save Money

Paying attention to water issues throughout your commercial properties is a good way to reduce costs. As you learn to cut down on water consumption, you may realize valuable savings on your monthly utility bills. One of the first steps in this effort is to recognize the many ways water is used throughout your property:

• Drinking
  
• Irrigation
  
• Cleaning
  
• Air conditioning
  
• Restrooms
  
  

Fortunately, there are several good ways to conserve water, reduce water consumption, and keep your utility bills in check.

Fix Water Leaks

One easy and beneficial way to cut down on the amount of water consumed throughout your property is to fix dripping faucets and other leaks. Not only do these leaks resulted in higher levels of consumption, but they also lead to water damage. Repairing leaks and immediately addressing similar water issues also results in financial and energy savings.

Reduced Hot Water Consumption

Another powerful way to conserve water is to reduce hot water use. Switch out appliances in your Adobe Hills, AZ, commercial properties for energy-efficient models and install low-flow fixtures. If there are dishwashers on your property, consider installing a booster heater because these appliances go a long way toward reducing energy costs.

Low-Flow Toilets

The toilet is a consistent source of water consumption, so any efforts you make to conserve in this area can have significant results. The first low-flow toilets seemed to cut down on water use but lost a lot of efficiency, sometimes resulting in repeated flushing. Fortunately, you'll find that modern toilets offer a water upgrade that is both conservational and efficient.

Understanding how water is consumed throughout your property is one of the best steps in responding to water issues that lead to waste and cause spikes in your utility bill. Other steps include fixing leaks, reducing hot water use, and replacing toilets.
