Saving Money on Your Water Bill

Key Benefits of Water Conservation and Efficiency

Savings Opportunities with Quick and Simple Water-Efficiency Measures are Typically Overlooked

Reduce water and sewer costs by up to 30% and increase your profit margin, by reducing your:

  • Sewer Discharge Fees
  • Provider Fees
  • Costs associated with treating water to make it suitable for your business needs

Mitigate Risk

Droughts, rising costs (rising over 43% across America) and potential water shutoffs can threaten the viability of your business, if water is an important component:

  • Used in your production process
  • Green landscapes are a necessary part of your product offering (such as hotels)

Saving Water Saves Energy and Reduces Carbon Emissions

Pumping, distribution and treatment of water in California accounts for:

  • 19% of Electricity
  • 30% of Natural Gas
  • 88 Billion gallons of diesel fuel every year
This embedded energy means that a faucet running for 5 minutes uses 840 kW·h; enough to power a conventional 60 W bulb for 1.6 years.
