Utility consumers can make savings on energy bills with a lower water consumption. Whether you are a household consumer or a commercial organisation, heating water has a direct impact on your household or business water bills. Water consumers can reduce their energy bills from 10% to 25% just by lowering their water consumption. 

Reasons To Save Water

No matter where in Britain you live, water rates will rise from 0.7% to 10.8% based on your location. Domestic consumers will pay more for using the same amount of water compared to the previous year. Corporate consumers can expect lower business profits because the cost of production increases with an increase in water rates. Water consumers must decide if investing in expensive plumbing is worth it. 

There is no doubt the initial investment in efficient plumbing is expensive, but the long-term savings justify the costs. Consumers can recover their initial investments as savings on their water bill. Businesses like laundries and restaurants have a huge potential to save water by installing efficient plumbing devices. Water costs could go down if more consumers and businesses significantly lower their water consumption. 

Utility consumers can lower water consumption to reduce the environmental impact of dealing with wastewater and the fallout of water treatment and sewer systems. Don’t forget the energy it takes to supply quality drinking water to a certain location and the impact it has on the local wildlife and habitat. Here are some ways utility consumers can lower their water consumption. 

Assess Water Consumption

Domestic and commercial water consumers can contact their local water supplier to conduct a water audit of your home or business. The information from the report will include an inspection of all water appliances, refrigeration, sanitation system, irrigation system, bathroom plumbing, water heating, and cooling systems. You can monitor your water bills to identify any changes in your regular water consumption patterns. Consumers with obsolete plumbing pay more for their water consumption. 

Identify Water Consumption Patterns

Instead of waiting for the due date to make the payment, evaluate your water bill as soon as you receive it. A sudden increase in your water bill can show a potential leak. Regularly check your taps, toilets, hoses, and plumbing for potential leaks. You can install a drip gauge on certain plumbing devices to detect potential leaks. The drip gauge can give you a clear idea of daily and monthly water wastage.  

Changes To Conserve Water

Chefs often thaw frozen products with running hot water. This is one practice that wastes water, which can easily be conserved. Consider putting frozen products in the fridge overnight, instead of defrosting them with running water. Another water intensive appliance is the in-sink food disposer.

It might be practical to use a strainer instead of the in-sink food disposer to conserve water. You can conserve water by using a strainer to filter certain foods. Restaurants can conserve water by offering water to their customers on request. Alternatively, they can serve their customers a pitcher of water with disposable paper cups to conserve drinking water.
