Water is one of our most precious resources, and if we’ve learned anything in the last few weeks, it is that Calgarians are great at reducing water usage during emergencies. But have you ever thought about reducing your household water footprint overall? It helps the environment and can lead to significant savings on your water bill.

Here are some practical tips for conserving water and reducing environmental impact, along with information on Ecowater’s eco-friendly products and technologies.

1. Fix Leaks Promptly

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to conserve water is to fix leaks immediately. A dripping faucet or a leaking toilet can waste thousands of liters yearly. Regularly inspect your plumbing for leaks and repair them promptly.

2. Install Water-Efficient Fixtures

Upgrade your home with water-efficient fixtures such as low-flow showerheads, faucets, and toilets. These fixtures are designed to use less water without compromising performance. For example, low-flow showerheads can reduce water usage by up to 50%, saving water and energy.

3. Use Water-Saving Appliances

Consider investing in water-saving appliances like high-efficiency washing machines and dishwashers. These appliances use significantly less water per cycle compared to older models. Look for appliances with the Energy Star label, which indicates they meet strict efficiency guidelines.

4. Adopt Smart Landscaping Practices

Outdoor water use can account for much of your household water footprint, especially in the summer. Opt for drought-resistant plants and grasses that require less water. Group plants with similar water needs together and use mulch to retain soil moisture. Installing a rain barrel can also help you collect and use rainwater for your garden.

5. Practice Mindful Water Use

Keep up with the simple changes in daily habits can make a big difference. Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, take shorter showers, and only run the dishwasher and washing machine with full loads. Educate your family about the importance of water conservation and encourage everyone to be mindful of their water use.
