All homeowners should be concerned with water conservation. It is important to take the necessary steps to conserve water. Doing this will not only save homeowners money, but it will also help the environment.

Below are tips homeowners should follow if they want to conserve energy:

• Only use biodegradable soaps and detergents.
• Avoid excessive use of detergents, bleach or other chemicals. These can kill the natural bacteria in your septic system.
  
• Regularly check toilets for leaks. If there are any issues, replace toilet flapper and fill valve immediately. A leaky toilet can result in up to 40% of the total water usage.
  
• Replace an old showerhead as it can save you up to 7.5 gallons of water per minute.
  
• Check all indoor and outdoor faucets periodically. Fix any leaks or other damage immediately. A leaky faucet can waste more than eight gallons of water per day.
  
• Regularly check for signs of a water leak. When water in your home is not in use, check the water meter and note the meter reading. After eight to ten hours, inspect the water meter again. If the meter has moved, you most likely have an undetected leak. Correct this to avoid wasting water, money, and energy.
