Many people take the water that comes out of their tap for granted.  There is a huge demand for water not only from residential water use but also from businesses.  It is important to always be aware of how much water we use and do what we can to conserve.

The average household has a water consumption breakdown similar to the following:

Outdoor (approximately 15%)
Kitchen  (approximately 10%)
Washing Machine   (approximately 20%)
Showers/baths  (approximately 30%)
Toilets  (approximately 25%)

Newsflash

Front-loading washers use airtight seals to prevent water from leaking while the machine is in use. When the machine is not in use, this seal can trap moisture in the machine and lead to mold. Leave the door open for an hour or two after use to allow moisture to evaporate. CAUTION: Make sure children and pets do not climb into the machine while the door is open.
