Water bills hitting you hard already this summer? Reducing the amount of water you use at home will save you a few bucks on your next bill. Using less water means washing clothes and dishes only when the appliances are full and choosing the quick wash whenever possible. Always look for energy-saver options on modern appliances. There is often no need to rinse dishes at all if you have a newer dishwasher. Also, consider drinking from the same glass of water all day.
