Progressive Ideas for Water Conservation

According to McGraw Hill’s SmartMarket Report released in early June, water efficiency and conservation is quickly coming to the forefront of green design and construction.  Because buildings consume 20% of the world’s water, this issue is fast becoming a higher priority than even energy efficiency and waste reduction. 

How can you help the environment, stay ahead of the curve and add to your home value?  Here are some things Progressive Plumbing and Piping can do to help your home or business conserve water:

  • Install low-flow showerheads and faucets, which can reduce your water usage by 60 percent
  • Install low-flush and high-efficiency toilets, saving a family of four an average of 15,000 gallons of water a year
  • Install a home leak-monitoring device
  • Install faucet flow reducers, which can reduce faucet flow by 40 percent
