Are you showering smart? It’s a question Cobb County officials are encouraging residents to consider.
Amid the routine rush of soap and rinse, lies a chance to make a notable difference in water consumption. The daily dance with the droplets accounts for a substantial 20 percent of indoor water usage, a figure that has now caught the vigilant eye of Cobb Water system officials and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Taking a cue, Cobb County is extending a hand to residents, offering a pathway to smarter showering habits.
According to the water system, a simple switch from an old showerhead to a WaterSense labeled model from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can be a game-changer. And to make this transition smoother, a free indoor water saver kit is available. This kit, more than just a showerhead, includes aerators and leak detector tablets, acting as a trio in your fight against water wastage.
