Our water bill is not the hugest of our bills, but I still am always trying to find ways to save on water. It not only benefits our budget, but helps the environment.

One thing we did a few years ago was to install a new showerhead. We got an evolve Roadrunner at our local Earth Day festival. This showerhead not only is low flow (1.5 gallons per minute), but it has a neat ShowerStart device. You turn on the shower and once it gets hot, it shuts down to a trickle. This way if you are doing other things while the water is warming up, you are not wasting water. When you hear the shower flow change, you can get in. Then you pull the lever and it goes back to full force. We love it! Here is a link to see the product (and others by the same company):
