4 Water Conservation Tips for Ohio Homeowners
Our plumbing experts and the EPA offer several tips for Ohio homeowners looking to conserve water:
TIPS FOR EVERY ROOM IN THE HOUSE WITH PLUMBING
We suggest not waiting to take care of plumbing problems. Repair leaky faucets, both indoors and out. Also, consider replacing old equipment (such as toilets, dish washers, water heaters, and laundry machines) without delay. Using outdated equipment will cost more, and the product needs to be replaced sooner or later. Upgrading to something with higher efficiency saves money over time.
TIPS FOR THE BATHROOM
We recommend taking shorter showers instead of baths. Homeowners turn off the water to brush their teeth, shave, and soap in the shower. We recommend filling the sink to shave. You should also repair any leaky toilets. You can also add 12 drops of food coloring into the toilet’s tank to check for leaks. If the color appears in the bowl about an hour later when you study, your toilet leaks. Homeowners can install a toilet dam, faucet aerators, and low-flow showerheads to conserve water.
TIPS FOR THE KITCHEN
For water usage in the kitchen, we suggest peeling and cleaning vegetables in a large bowl of water instead of under running water when cooking. Fill your sink or basin when washing and rinsing dishes. Additionally, you should only use the dishwasher when it’s complete. When buying a dishwasher, select one with a “light-wash” option. Only use garbage disposals when necessary (composting is a great alternative). We also encourage installing faucet aerators.
LAUNDRY TIPS TO SAVE WATER
Experts agree that homeowners should only run full loads of laundry when doing laundry. If you’re purchasing a new washing machine, you should only buy a water-saving model that can be adjusted to the load’s size.
FAQ
Well Pump Questions
WHAT FACTORS DETERMINE THE COST OF A NEW WELL?
There are a number of factors that determine the cost of your new well. These include:
Location. The farther away you are from your neighbor’s wells and aquifers, the less likely it is that you’ll have to contend with contamination issues.
Type of well. If your property has several water sources within 100 feet, then installing multiple tubular or dug wells may make more economic sense than drilling one large diameter horizontal well.
Depth of the well. It’s important not only to reach as much groundwater as possible but also to tap into an adequate level of quality water at that depth. A deeper well will generally increase costs but may be worth it if it leads to fewer maintenance problems in the future and provides access to better quality water sources like bedrock or aquifers (as opposed to surface streams).
WHAT SHOULD I DO TO MAINTAIN MY WELL?
Check the water level in the well.
Test the water quality.
Test the pressure.
Check your well pump, casing, and piping for cracks or corrosion.
Ensure that you have a proper seal around your well cap to keep contaminants out of it.
Look for damaged screens on top of your water tank that may have been knocked off by animals, falling trees, etc.
WHEN DOES A WELL NEED TO BE ABANDONED?
Your well may need to be abandoned if it’s contaminated.
Your well may need to be abandoned if it’s damaged.
Your well may need to be abandoned if the house has been empty and no one has used the well for more than 3 years.
