ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Seasons
Plumbing, a family-owned and -operated plumbing company serving the
Asheville and Hendersonville areas, understands the need for
preserving the earth's finite resources. In recognition of Earth
Day, which officially takes place on April
22, Four Seasons Plumbing encourages Asheville residents to focus on water
conservation.
"Water is one of the easiest resources to waste without notice,"
said Max Rose, owner of Four Seasons
Plumbing. "It is certainly a resource that we take for granted most
of the time. We may take a 30-minute shower to unwind from a
stressful day or leave the water running while washing dishes.
"All this is wasting a valuable resource, but we don't notice it
because we never think of water as a finite thing. With the
exception of an emergency situation, most of us have never ran out
of water. So, it isn't a top-of-mind issue for many
homeowners."
There are several ways that an individual can reduce water
consumption on a regular basis. Limiting the amount of time in the
shower is one effective way.
According to the EPA, an eight-minute shower can use more than
16 gallons of water. Over the course of a year in the United States, more than one trillion
gallons of water is used from taking showers alone.
Another method to conserve water is to install high-efficiency
plumbing fixtures in your house. Installing these fixtures can not
only save you money, but it can also help reduce your water and
energy consumption.
"Some high-efficiency fixtures, such as low-flow toilets, have
been installed in most new homes since 2011," Rose said. "They use
as little as one gallon per flush. That is much lower than the
conventional toilet, which uses 3.5 gallons."
WaterSense fixtures are recommended by the EPA and are proven to
reduce water. According to the EPA, WaterSense faucets can reduce
the water used in sinks by at least 20%.
"Small things like taking shorter showers or turning the water
off while we rub soap on our hands can help cut down on water use,"
said Rose. "Sometimes, it is the little things that can make a big
difference for the planet."
