We all know that water is the most important resource that sustains lives. It’s important to do our part to conserve this resource for the generations to come. Here are some key statistics and facts about water usage in 2024:

  • In most U.S. households, showers account for approximately 20% of the water used indoors, while toilets account for 30% of a home’s indoor water consumption.
  • A water-efficient showerhead uses approximately 2.4 gallons of water per minute, while older-style showerheads use about 5 gallons per minute.
  • An efficient faucet can save you approximately 11 gallons of water per day. If you still have older-style faucets in your home, call a local plumber to help you install efficient faucets that will conserve water.
  • A standard bathtub holds nearly 70 gallons of water. If you’re looking to save water, consider filling the tub halfway.
  • A standard toilet uses about 3.5 gallons of water per flush, while water-efficient models can use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush.
  • A toilet leaking at the base can waste about 300 gallons per day.
  • A running toilet is a major water waster in the average household. Left unaddressed, a running toilet can waste more than 50,000 gallons of water per month.
  • The average family could save up to 13,000 gallons of water per year by having a local plumbing service install a water-efficient toilet. If you still have an older style toilet, get in touch with Mr. Rooter Plumbing for toilet replacement.
  • Hand washing dishes under running water can use up to 27 gallons per load.
  • If you leave the water running when brushing teeth, you can use 4 gallons each time you clean your teeth. Depending on how many times you brush your teeth a day, this habit can drive up your water bills.
  • A leaking tap wastes at least 1500 gallons of water per year if left unrepaired. If you have a dripping tap, call a nearby plumbing repair service for faucet repair.
  • The average person uses 80-100 gallons of water per day.
  • Collecting rainwater can cut down your water bills by a significant amount.
  • A standard dishwasher uses around 2.5 gallons of water per wash—a dishwasher saves more water when compared to hand washing.
  • Switching from a standard washing machine to an Energy Star model can save you 6 gallons of water per load.
  • Having a professional plumber install efficient fixtures in your home can reduce your water bill.
  • The average family can save nearly $1000 per year by installing WaterSense-labeled fixtures.
  • Approximately 23 million U.S. homes get water from private wells.
  • Approximately 87% of U.S. homes rely on public water supply.
  • The average family of 3-4 people pays $70-$100 for water per month.
  • Water usage in the U.S. is higher during the summer due to gardening, filling pools, and watering lawns.
  • California is the largest consumer of water in the United States.
  • About 60% of the water in the United States is used for agricultural purposes.
  • South Dakota and Rhode Island are among the lowest consumers of water in the U.S.
  • Approximately 2 million households in the United States lack access to clean drinking water.
  • Globally, we use around 4 trillion m³ of fresh water each year.
  • Only 0.5% of the world’s freshwater is suitable for human use.

Our plumber was excellent he came out probably even on a holiday and did exactly what he was supposed to do. You also informed us and let us make the decisions. We will definitely happen again

Service was excellent. Came in hour after calling. Did a very good job. Darrel was very good and very polite. I didn’t expect it to cost that much but like I said I’m very grateful for the job being done so quickly and good job.
