5 Ways to Save Water at Work

Water is essential to everyday lives. It is present in the production and consumption of most goods and services. Water conservation can cut down monthly expenses as well as benefit the environment. Here is some practical advice on how to save water at work — and at home.

Be Aware

Are you aware of how much water is being consumed monthly, bimonthly, or annually? Consider assessing water usages and patterns within your company. Once the water uses are known, discuss water saving initiatives, and set SMART goals to lessen water waste.

Taps

Look for a fix leaking taps and replace washers. You can also install water efficient taps with an aerator or flow restrictor to decrease unnecessary water usage. Try to turn the faucet of when not in use. Letting the water run more than needed can significantly increase water waste. Even a few constant drips can waste gallons of water, and thousands of dollars each year.

Eau de Toilette

Older toilets can use up to seven gallons of water per flush! High efficiency toilets use only about 1.6 gallons per flow. Replace single-flush toilets with dual-flush toilets. These toilets give you the option to use only the water you need for the given situation. Water efficient urinals is also an effective alternative.

Sweep vs. Mop

Use a broom for more cleaning tasks. Instead of the old fashioned mop and bucket, try a broom and dustpan or a dry mop instead. Sweeping sidewalks can even substitute using water for pressure washing.

Education

Explain to your team how these changes will improve your company. Let your staff know the facts and benefits of conserving water. Update the company’s policies on water in the handbook and create signage as a reminder. As always, rewards and contests are great incentives to encourage engagement with new procedures.
