How Much Water Does Your Household Use?

Interested in improving your water eco-footprint? Or perhaps in shrinking your sewer and water bill? Doing a water audit in your home is the first place to start.

Performing a Home Water Use Audit will help you understand where you can start saving the most water.  This process is simple and takees about an hour to complete. It will help you locate leaks, prioritize fixing them, and help you start saving money and water.

The Portland Water Bureau offers FREE Home Water Audit Kits to its customers. This kit includes a bag to measure shower and faucet flow rate, leak rate and toilet volume, as well as directions for use.

If you've got kids, let them help with the audit. It's a great way to help them understand more about our municipal water system as well as modern household plumbing.
