A family of four uses 400 gallons of water every day. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, by making just a few simple changes to use water more efficiently, you could save about $170 per year. Be sure to run full loads in your dishwasher and clothes washing machine, turn off the tap when it is not directly in use, and fix leaks (a leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day). Look for the ENERGY STAR and/or WaterSense labels on appliances, faucets, toilets and more.
