Water Conservation

Saving water saves energy and money too! The town of Coupeville’s single largest electrical expense is to pump and treat the water we use every day. Residential water use averages 75 gallons per person per day, while the average person uses about 20 gallons of hot water every day. Also, water heating accounts for about 21% of the average home’s total energy use. It pays to conserve water both inside and outside the home
