Conserving water is important to saving your septic system. Water that continually saturates the drainfield negatively affects the quality of the soil and its ability to naturally get rid of bacteria, viruses, toxics and other pollutants that come from wastewater.
Is water being wasted in your home? To conserve water, the following tips may help.
Check leaking faucets and pipes.
Fix any running toilets.
Read your water meter to check for any hidden leaks.
Insulate water pipes.
Take shorter showers.
Install water-saving shower heads.
Turn off the water while brushing your teeth.
Use your dishwasher and washing machines only for full loads.
Select the proper load size for your washing machine.
Use energy efficient dishwashing and washing machines. Look for the Energy Star symbol.
Minimize the use of sink garbage disposals.
