Save Water, Energy, and Money While You Shower Better
If you are celebrating Energy Action Month this October, you might be interested to know that your
shower could be sending energy, water, and money down the drain each day. Showering accounts for
20 percent of our residential indoor water use, or nearly 40 gallons per household per day. Energy
is also required to heat that water, so every drop you save can result in energy and utility bill
savings.
This October, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Citrus County Utilities are also
promoting Shower Better Month to encourage homeowners to take one simple action: replace an old
showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model. Whether you are remodeling your bathroom or just
looking for ways to save energy, water, and money, look for the WaterSense label on showerheads
that use 20 percent less water and are independently certified to provide the spray force and water
coverage for a satisfying shower.
A WaterSense labeled showerhead will save the average family more than $70 in annual energy and
water costs and 2,700 gallons of water per year, or the amount it takes to wash 88 loads of
laundry. With less energy required to heat your shower water, your family can also save enough
electricity to run the television for more than a year, or to power your entire home for 11 days!
