 Saving
water could save you hundreds of dollars per year. Identifying the
amount of water you use through water audits can help you identify ways
to conserve your water usage. Some tips that will help you to conserve water include:
A dripping faucet or fixture can waste up to 3 gallons of water a day for a total of 1,095 gallons per year. Under water pressure of 60 psi, a continuous leak from a hole the following sizes would waste the amounts of water shown below in a three-month period.
WHY DO WE HAVE BOIL WATER NOTICES? The Florida Department of Environmental Protection requires boil water notices during times of repair and/or maintenance when water pressure drops below a certain pressure. The measure is taken as a precaution in order to protect consumers from any potential contaminants that could enter when a line breaks or water pressure drops within the system. Boiling water vigorously for two minutes allows consumers to safely use the water during the "boil water notice" period. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection requires notification of these types of occurrences through the radio and television medias. The following radio and television channels are contacted if Regional Utilities As a courtesy, Regional Utilities attempts to contact our customers by door hangers when the area affected is isolated. This type of notification is limited by the number of customers affected. The radio and television media should be relied upon for notification, especially if a large customer base is affected. If you have any questions regarding "Boil Water Notices" or any other concern, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 850-231-5114. |
