Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – CWLP seeks to educate customers on the value of water efficiency and sponsors programs aimed at helping them improve their own water efficiency without requiring them to sacrifice comfort and convenience.

In cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “We’re for Water” campaign, CWLP’s Save Energy-Save Water Office strives to educate consumers about the importance of water efficiency and how to address the estimated more than 1 trillion gallons of water wasted from household leaks each year. CWLP is promoting simple practices and tips to help its customers find leaks and reduce water waste.

Could You Have a Leak?

Check your Water Usage on your bill to see if your winter water use is over 3 units per person (about 2,244 gallons).

How To Check, Twist & Tighten, and Replace!

• Check your faucets, showerheads, and pipes for drips. Take the toilet test and use food coloring in the upper tank – look to see if it appears in the bowl before you flush.

• Twist & tighten your faucet connections.

• Replace a fixture that is older than 10 years.
