Using Water Wisely

Every resident of Sumter County can play a role in helping to conserve our precious drinking water resources. Conservation of water in the home not only saves water, it also saves the energy used to process and distribute water. Inside the home, less water will need to be heated. The savings may be seen in your water bill, including wastewater charges, and also in your energy bill. Below are some suggestions to save water indoors.
