What is Green Plumbing?

KNOWING THE STATISTICS WILL IMPACT YOUR DECISION TO GO GREEN

We all know our planet has limited natural resources. Water is one of those essential resources we need to survive. Water consumption is something we can control.

Green and sustainability are two words that have become important to our everyday lives and our future. Green plumbing is environmentally friendly plumbing that saves you money by using energy-saving appliances, low flow fixtures, and thoughtfulness. The green decisions we make about the best ways to use our precious natural resources today will determine what our world looks like for our children and grandchildren tomorrow.

Statistics from Florida government documents show that an average per person daily water usage is 158 gallons. A family of four would use 138,700 gallons of water a year. Most Floridians pay for their water so ways to save water translate into ways to save money.
