Conservation Quick Tips
Water Conservation Tip #12 Shower yourself with savingsBy timing your showers to keep them under five minutes and installing low-flow showerheads, you can save water. The older the showerhead, the more water it uses. New showerheads deliver 2.5 gallons of water per minute. Older fixtures can deliver as high as eight gallons per minute.
