Conserving Water While Bathing

It is easy to save water, and knowing how to do it is easier as there are numerous resources on the
internet. If you want to start saving water, either because you want to cut on your water bill or for the
sake of the environment, you should start by conserving water that gets wasted in your bathroom.

The only problem is remaining committed to conserving water in your bathroom. Remember, simple
choices like this can have a long-lasting impact on natural water supply. Utah and Salt Lake City
areas has already witnessed historical droughts, and global citizens are doing all they can to
promote water conservation.

It is wise to use these lessons and start applying them to your bathroom routine. The following tips
will help you conserve water while taking a bath in your shower. They will also help you low your
water bill considerably.

Use Less Water


While showering, let the water fill the tub halfway to prevent water from spilling over. Moreover, do
not wait until the water becomes hot to plug the drain. You should start by connecting the pipe before
you adjust the temperature while the tub is filling.

You can save gallons of water over time. If the water takes longer to heat up and you are in a rush,
collect the cold water by catching it using a bucket and use it later for household purposes.

Limit Shower Time


Reduce the time you take in the shower. Statistics say showering takes about 17 percent of water
usage at homes, which translates to approximately 40 gallons of water per day. Consider installing a
shower time to start saving water immediately. There are two primary types of shower times Salt
Lake City:

Sand timers


They feature an hourglass shape. The sand in the glass begins to fall while counting. You will
be able to see when your time is up in the shower. The timer records 5 minutes intervals.

Digital Timers

This type of timer can tell you the time you have spent in the shower and the amount of water
you have used during this time.

Turn Off the Shower

If you are doing other things such as applying hair conditioner, shaving your hair or comb it, turn off
the shower. This can help to reduce water use by half. Also, do not do a lot of things in the shower.

Install a Low-Flow Shower-head

You may have to spend some money. However, your efforts in Utah water conservation will save you
a lot of money in the long run. A typical shower-head is capable of allowing more than 5 gallons of
water per minute, which is a lot. On the other hand, a low-flow shower-head allows 2.5 gallons of
water to flow per minute, or even less.

Saving water is something that Utah landscapers, bakers, construction workers, SLC
teachers, and everyone can be teaching and practicing better than they already are.

The Water Problems Of Utah

The beautiful desert landscape in Utah creates water problems. This gives Salt Lake CIty an uncertain water future.Most of the land in the state qualifies as desert because it receives less than 13 inches of rainfall per year. Ever since settlements were made in Utah, ongoing efforts have been made to create irrigation, water storage facilities and other types of things for water usage.
The climate goes through wet and dry cycles. The usual duration of the average dry cycle
is three to seven years. Unfortunately, the seasons have been out of wack, and the wet
seasons have occurred less often. As a result, there are massive droughts in Utah. Of
course, droughts are pretty common in Utah. However, the droughts are unusually worse
due to the wet seasons not coming. Wet winters are not occurring as often as how they
should be. Landscapers in Sandy have pointed this out to us this past season.

The people of Utah use water that comes from springs, wells, rivers and streams. The water
is always either taken directly from the sources and used or stored. Of course, agencies first
clean the water so that it does not get anyone sick.

Utah is the second driest state in America, and it is one of the states that uses the most
water. The problem is that the infrastructure has to be updated to make communities more
water efficient. People's behaviors also have to be regulated. The populations of places in
Utah are growing, and with population growth and infrastructure growth comes the need for
more water. Already, the average person living in Utah uses 243 gallons per day per capita.
Eighty-two percent of water is used for agriculture, 4% is used for residential indoor, 6% is
used for residential outdoor and 8% was used for commercial/industrial purposes. Inside our
homes, the typical water use is 40% for toilets, 30% for bathing, 2% for utilities, 14% for
laundry, 5% for the kitchen sink, 6% for dish-washing and 3% for the lavatory.



Knowing how much water is used for different activities is key to figuring out how Utah water
problems can be knocked down. The goal of the government is to cut back the amount of
water usage in Utah by 25% in the next 50 years. People have to regulate their behaviors
on many levels—personally and industrially.

Another major problem facing Utah's water supply is the fact that chemicals such as
pesticides and solvents frequently get into the water. Better policies must be made to ensure
that this happens less often. In a state where water is already scarce, the last thing that
anybody needs is a tainted water supply.

Utah has its share of water problems and they are not just going to go away. That is why we
are grateful for our friends at Klingler CPA who have been helping us share this
important message.
