*Continuing from last time, we will introduce "Where are the areas with high water bills? Water bills vary greatly depending on the region."

3 ways to save money on your water bill

Water bills are paid monthly, so over the course of a year it makes quite a difference.
Especially if you live in an area with high water rates, saving money on water every day can make a noticeable difference in your water bill.
Recently, there are many items on the market that claim to save water, so be sure to check them out.

Use water-saving items

The easiest way to conserve water is to use water-saving items.
By replacing your shower head with a water-saving one, you can shower with the same amount of water even with less water.
Water-saving faucets are recommended for the kitchen.
There are some with a variety of functions, but simple ones with only a water-saving function can be purchased for around 1,000 yen.

Replace with water-saving equipment

One way to conserve water on appliances that use a lot of water, such as washing machines and toilets, is to replace them with water-saving models when it's time to replace them.
Drum-type washing machines are more effective at saving water, and there are also water-saving products on the market.
When it comes to toilets, it's surprising how many of the newer models available these days are highly water-saving.

In the 1970s, tanks had a capacity of 30L, but the latest models are around 3L to 4L, which means that the cost of water usage per time is significantly lower.

Be aware of water reuse

Let's also actively consider reusing our precious water resources.
In an average household, the biggest uses of water are for bathing, toileting, cooking and laundry.

Reusing leftover bath water for laundry can save a lot of water.
You can also save water when washing dishes by storing water in containers or using a dishwasher.

summary

Many people purchase mineral water for drinking, but there are many situations in which we use tap water.
If you've lived in the same place for a long time, you may not notice differences in water bills, but there are actually big differences depending on the area.

Saving water not only saves you money on your water bill, it also helps you live an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
It might be a good idea to reexamine your life with water as the theme.
