Small Changes Create Significant Water Conservation: The average American family uses over 300 gallons of water daily for drinking, cooking, bathing, and lawn care. Much of this water is wasted through inefficient fixtures, poor habits, and unnecessary usage that could be eliminated without affecting comfort or convenience.  Simple conservation measures can reduce household water consumption by 20-30 percent while lowering utility bills.
