HARD TO BREAK HABITS • Today’s dishwashers don’t require you to pre-rinse your dishes. On average, you’ll waste 20 gallons of water per day doing so. Based on our local Manwalamink Water Company rates for water service and sewer service, that’s about $7 per month down the drain. • Just can’t live without that long, hot shower to de-stress at the end of the day? Purchase a quality, low-flow shower head achieve water saving of 25 – 60 percent! Visit www.energy.gov/ eere/femp/energy-cost-calculator-faucets-and-showerheads to calculate energy costs for faucets and showerheads. Even during the lazy, hazy days of summer, you can handle a few small changes that can add up to some serious Ka-ching!
