One of the largest expenses paid out of your coupon is water service. Our village uses more water than just about any other customer in Deerfield Beach. Therefore, when the city raises water rates it makes a huge difference.
One way to help keep water usage down across the Village is to install low flow toilets.
Toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average home's indoor water consumption. Older, inefficient toilets that use as much as 6 gallons per flush also happen to be a major source of wasted water in many homes.
Recent advancements have allowed toilets to use 1.28 gallons per flush or less while still providing equal or superior performance.
When was the last time you replaced your toilet? You can get up to $100 to help install a new low flow toilet.
The City of Deerfield Beach has a program that will help pay for a new low flow toilet. Click HERE for more information.
Meanwhile, even if you don't replace your toilet, make sure it's not leaking! If you routinely hear it running when no one has used it, you probably have a leak that needs to be fixed.
