How To Save On Your Water Bill

So, every time you get your utility bill it seems like the rate continues to grow. Like your cable, TV, and internet bills, lately, your water bill seems to be climbing out of control. Is there a shortage of water?

If you are late on your water bill, it could seriously affect your credit. Most utilities do not report on-time payments to the credit bureaus and accounts that fall to collections can cause your scores to plummet.

There are several ways you can cut back on your water usage and lower your bill.

It's really difficult to run your tap water in hopes of getting colder water. Instead, fill up your pitcher and store it in your refrigerator. On top of that, it works best with a pitcher that comes with an attached filter while saving water.

You will significantly reduce your water expenses with a low-flow toilet. Replacing your toilet can be a major expense but you could add weights to your current toilet tank. If you don't know how to install the weights, talk to a plumber for assistance.

You can replace your current dishwasher and washing machine with Energy Star appliances. It will cut back on your water bill and the energy you are spending. If you want to find savings, tax credits, and discounts, you are welcome to use Energy Star's rebate finder.

It's non-productive to run your washer with just a few items such as tee-shirts or pants. Not only are you increasing your water bill but you are wasting water. Running a full load in your washer will save you money and cut down on the number of loads you are washing each week.

As time moves on, there are more droughts popping up around the world. There is a limited supply of water making water a very precious commodity. Every human and all living things on this planet need fresh water in order to survive. Without fresh water, no living creature can survive.

Recently, it has become a sad fact that even though 71% of the planet's surface is water, there are many places that are running out of clean water. Conserving water is becoming a critical step for all of us. Without it, the entire world will suffer from a lack of water and will not be able to protect the ecosystem over time. By cutting back on our usage of clean water, we are protecting water responsibly.

Fresh, clean water helps get rid of all kinds of toxins in our bodies. Whether toxins are formed from outside sources or caused by human consumption,water has become more and more contaminated due to bad practices by humans.

You might not know it but clean water is not just for consumption but for sanitation purposes as well. If your body or clothes are washed with contaminated water, disease will be on the rise. Imagine eating food cooked with contaminated water! Over time, you will become quite sick from diseases. We all need clean water for greater health.

Imagine not being able to consume fresh water causing all life on the planet to become seriously sick and die. Serious medical conditions will include cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis, all caused by contaminated water. I can't even imagine realizing the only water you can consume will be loaded with toxins and come from sewage or water left behind by industrial plants!

The next time you take clean water for granted, think again. In order to consume fresh, clean water takes everyone to get involved and fight to protect this precious commodity each and every day.

Get with your community, spread the word, and educate everyone about the incredible value of clean fresh water, not just for us, but all living things on Earth.
