Conserve Water in the Bathroom

The largest consumption of water in residential settings, nearly half of what is used in the home, takes place in the bathroom. This is of little surprise considering the bathroom houses not only a sink, but also the toilet, and the bathtub and/or shower. The EPA states that twenty-seven percent of the water that is used at home comes from the toilet, which uses as much as seven gallons of water each time that it is flushed. Running the water in the bathroom sink uses as much as two gallons of water every minute that it runs. Click here for information on how to conserve water in the bathroom.
