Wouldn’t it be great to start 2018 off on the right foot in Port St. Lucie, FL financially speaking? Being a homeowner is expensive, with maintenance, repairs and of course- the bills. Did you know that with a little research and a commitment to conservation, you can reduce your homeowner costs significantly?

Once such way to reduce your water bill. It doesn’t take a huge effort, but the financial benefits are substantial. Here is what you need to know to get started.

Shower Instead of Taking Baths

While there is no question lounging in a hot bath at the end of the day is a great way to relax, the amount of water that you require to fill the bath is very expensive.

Save your bath for an occasional treat and instead have showers to get clean.

Want to save even more money? Make those showers shorter. Put a timer on before you get in.

Check Your Home for Leaks

You’d be shocked at how much water even a small plumbing leak wastes. You’d be even more surprised to realize how much money those small leaks add to your water bills.

Get in the habit of looking around your whole home to check for leaks. Don’t delay getting them fixed. It may seem like a hassle, but wasting money is more inconvenient, right?

Use Greywater for Your Plants

It’s important to keep your green thumb going, but get in the habit of reusing water for watering your plants.

Think of things like placing a bucket in the shower while you are waiting for the shower to heat up. You can collect that water and use it on your plants.

Another idea is to have a rain barrel and collect water that way. You can also reserve cooking liquid and reuse that greywater for plant watering.

As an extra measure of conservation, put that water in a spray bottle, so that you use less, but still give plants the moisture they require.

Take Your Car to a Carwash

Washing your car at home may seem like a great way to save money, but when you consider how much money you are literally throwing down the drain, it’s not a good plan at all.

Take your car to the car wash. Even better is if you can take your car to a carwash that uses recycled water, reducing your water footprint.

Don’t let plumbing leaks or other plumbing problems be the reasons behind your high water bills. Being proactive with your plumbing will give you peace of mind and save you money.
