GPWC Winter Water-Saving Project

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), bathrooms are the largest use of water in our homes, accounting for more than 50% of all indoor water use. Besides taking more efficient showers, why not check out some WaterSense showerheads, which can save you 4 gallons of water every time you take a shower?

WaterSense, a voluntary partnership program sponsored by the U.S. EPA, is not only a resource for helping us save water but a label to look for when scouting out water-efficient products. WaterSense-labeled products and services are certified to use at least 20 percent less water, save energy, and perform as well as or better than regular models.
