Rain Barrels & Sprinklers
In order to reduce potable water use for non-drinking purposes, simple measures like the installation of rain barrels, rain gardens and rain sensitive shut-off switches to lawn sprinkler systems can be installed at relatively little costs to property owners.
Smart Meters
A 'Smart Meter' is a water meter that identifies consumption in more detail than a conventional meter. It communicates this information back to the household to educate users on their water consumption habits and find where energy is being wasted. Smart meters help households better control their energy use and cut costs.
Fixtures
Replacement of everyday water fixtures can greatly reduce at home water usage. "Low-flow" plumbing fixtures including toilets, faucets and showerheads have been developed that save substantial amounts of water compared to conventional fixtures while providing the same utility.
