Showering accounts for about 17 percent of residential indoor water use – up to 30 gallons of water per household per day. According to EPA, we use 1.2 trillion gallons of water every year in the U.S. just for showering. That’s enough water to meet the water needs of New York and New Jersey for a year.
Viewer Tip: Starting this spring, look for WaterSense labeled showerheads. EPA’s WaterSense label helps identify faucets, toilets and showerheads that save water and perform well. A WaterSense labeled showerhead saves more than 2,000 gallons per year while also saving energy. The energy your family can save in a year from heating less water for showers is enough to meet your entire home’s electrical needs for 10 days!
