One of the best ways to start conserving water is to take the first steps at home. As the first certified green plumbing company here in Colorado, we take conservation seriously. And we pass along the advice and information to you to help you make changes in our life as well. Even the tiniest change today can add up to huge impact and savings over time. It all starts with a single step.
1. What is your water footprint? How can you and your family best conserve water and energy at home? If you don’t know, maybe its time for a water use analysis audit. We can show you exactly where you are doing well, and were you can make some changes. We cover a variety of issues, and point out things that can not only reduce the amount of water you use, but can also make you more aware of the best way to save.
2. Give your faucets an overhaul. Fix drips immediately. Better yet, replace all old fixtures with water savings alternatives, and reduce the amount of water each time you turn on a faucet.
3. Limit bath time, and time your shower time. Filling up a bathtub can take anywhere from 40 to 60 gallons of water. By taking showers instead, and limiting your shower time to just five minutes, you can easily save thousands of gallons of water per year.
4. Invest in the newest technology. Did you know a rain sensor can avoid watering your landscaping and grass when we receive enough moisture? Or that a simple hot water circulation system can give you access to instant hot water, and avoid wasting thousands of gallons of water while playing the waiting game? As a certified green plumber, I know many ways that can help you be more conscious with your choices.
5. Take advantage of rebates. Your local water company, Excel energy, appliance stores – many different companies and organizations offer rebates to help you change the way you live. Get rid of old appliances and fixtures, and upgrade to the latest models. Not only will you have better cleaning, more power and a better product, but you’ll be doing the earth a favor too.

I had never heard of the term green plumbing before I saw you on Twitter. Cool idea and I’m going to look into the rain sensor as that’s a new one for me.
