Conserving Water Indoors Print E-mail

Per capita water use in Texas averages 164 gallon per person per day.  Making a habit of conservation makes sense and protects the water resources of both current and future Texans.

  • Toilets are the single largest water users in the home. Leaky toilets can waste 200 gallons per day. It is estimated that nearly 20% of all toilets leak. High efficiency toilets use less than 1.3 gallons per flush.
  • A 5 minute shower users 1-25 gallons. A full bathtub requires up to 70 gallons of water.
  • Faucet sink aerators are a simple cost-effective way to save water.
  • Washing machines with high-efficiency rating use 35-55% less water and 50% less energy.
  • Dishwasher with a high-efficiency rating use 4.5-7% gallons per load.
  • Restaurants that serve water by request only saves water. 

Don't wait to fix leaks.   Leaks could account for 10% or more of your water bill.
