If your Bermudian, you've seen him. Mr. Drippy is Bermuda's #1 in Conservation.
Many seem to think that because we catch our own water there's no need to conserve it and in the winter months it certainly seems like we could stand to waste some. But! Conserving water will save on not only your water bill but your power bill to.
Some things you can do -
-Install low water-use fixtures
-Inspect water tanks and plumbing fixtures regularly
-Repair leaks quickly
-Use a bucket, not a hose, to wash cars
-Take quick showers, not full baths
-Minimize lawn and garden watering
-Do not let water overflow or run after use
-Wash full laundry loads or set the washer to appropriate load size
-Do not order more water than is necessary
Toilets can use both salt and well water, saving you a fortune on fresh water and conserving as well.
Well water is used mainly used for toilet water and should never be used for drinking water.
Unfortunately wells and salt water connections aren't used often enough. A change in building code requiring it of new homes and offices that are capable of installing such systems, seems more than necessary.
