You Should Know -
Leaky Toilets are the Greatest Water Waster!
Many homeowners underestimate how much water a leaking/running toilet can waste. Even a minor leak can waste up to 240 gallons per day. This can accumulate to a large monthly water bill!
Don't let a leaky toilet run up your water bill. A quick check of your toilets can help you catch leaks before they become a bigger problem. You can easily check for leaks by dropping a dye tablet or a few drops of food coloring into the tank. If you see the color seep into the bowl without flushing, you have a leak.
"Flushable" Wipes - Know the Damage!
Toilet paper is the ONLY product that can break down properly in our sewer systems. "Flushable" wipes do not break down - they clog our sewer systems, costing millions in damages and maintenance each year. In short, throw your wipes in the trash, not the toilet!

Here are 10 ways to reduce your household water consumption, lower bills, and help the environment!

Water My Yard
The https://watermyyard.org/Water My Yard app, created in partnership with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, gives you personalized recommendations for when to turn on those sprinklers.
A healthy yard needs less water than you think. Even with our hot and dry summers, landscapes only need about an inch of water per week, whether from rain or irrigation.
The Water My Yard app offers free, informed advice that takes the guesswork out of weekly watering. Use the app, receive text or email notifications, or log in to the website.
