Greer CPW wants to help you save money and water. There are many ways you can do both!
- Repair leaks promptly: Leaking toilets, faucets, and showerheads can waste hundreds of gallons each month.
- Bathroom habits: Turning off the faucet while brushing teeth, shaving or lathering up is a smart way to reduce your water usage.
- Wash full loads. Make sure your washing machine is full before running a load and consider using cold water instead of warm or hot.
- Monitor water usage. Greer CPW water customers can track near real-time usage with our advanced metering infrastructure. Use this tool to monitor any unusual spikes in consumption.
- Consider a rain barrel. Rain barrels are great ways to capture rain water to be used during times of drought or low rain days.
- When washing vehicles, consider using a commercial car wash that recycles water versus washing your vehicle at home.
- Make the right landscaping choices. Pick grass that grows well in your region, and try xeriscaping to cut back on water use.
- When washing dishes by hand, make sure to fill the sink instead of letting the water run continuously.
- Buy efficient appliances. Many modern appliances automatically take care of the efficiency for you! Check for the WaterSense label when you shop.
