Water Waste = $$$ Waste

Do you know how much water you and your family waste every day? How about every year? The American Water Works Association offers these eye-opening statistics to illustrate America’s water waste.

• The average household uses 350 gallons of water daily.
• The average household water use annually is 127,400 gallons.
• Do you know exactly what uses the most water in most households? The toilet! It uses an average of 18.5 gallons per day, approximately 26.7% of the total daily water use.
• It’s estimated if all U.S. households installed water-saving and reduction features (think low-flow Grohe faucets), water use would decrease by nearly 30%. That would save more than 5 billion gallons of water per day, resulting in an estimated savings of $11.3 million!
