Water is one of Texas’ most valuable resources, one we cannot afford to waste.
While our states size can make water seem abundant, two realities tell a different story: Texas is subject to frequent droughts, and our population is projected to double over the next 50 years. To meet future water demand is expected to cost an estimated $30.7 billion in new water supplies. The most cost-effective solution available today is simple: use the water we already have more efficiently.
Indoor conservation is one of the easiest and most impactful ways households can reduce water waste. High-efficiency toilets, water-efficient washing machines, rainwater harvesting systems, and drought-conscious landscaping all contribute to meaningful water savings. Among the most effective upgrades inside the home is installing a water-efficient showerhead. This single improvement can significantly reduce household consumption without sacrificing performance.
Leaks are another major but often overlooked source of waste. A leaking faucet or running toilet can waste thousands of gallons per month. Fortunately, these problems are usually inexpensive and simple to fix. Identifying and repairing leaks promptly protects both your utility bill and the community’s water supply.
