What can be inferred about the savings from these steps?
A household can save a surprising amount of water with small changes. Taking showers instead of baths, fixing leaking taps and turning off the tap while brushing teeth can together reduce water use by about a fifth, according to a local utility. The utility also offers a free kit with a low-flow shower head, which many customers have installed. The company hopes that these simple steps will reduce the need for expensive new water sources.
