Money Saving Tip #141: Take Shorter Showers

The average shower uses 2.6 gallons of water per minute.  Cut back on your shower time by not wasting the time just standing there.  Time yourself and see if you can reduce your time in the shower in 30 seconds to 1 minute intervals.  Spending too much time in the shower causes you to use more water and more energy in making the water warm. 

Help cut back on the amount of water you use by installing a low-flow showerhead.
