THE CONNECTION

BETWEEN ENERGY & WATER

Saving water saves energy. Saving energy saves water. Pumping water to homes, farms and businesses requires electricity as does the heating of water and the treatment of waste water from these locations. Conversely, electricity production requires the use of water. In fact, fossil fuel processing and nuclear energy makes up 39% of all freshwater usage in the United States.

With finite resources constricting our ever growing resource demands, it is imperative that we learn to conserve. This site provides you with a first step toward saving the planet and some money. Low Flow showerheads and ENERGY STAR® CFLs are available, free of charge, to help you get started. Simply locate a participating utility link and submit your information form for processing. You will receive your resource saving product issued by US postal service within 3 weeks. It really is that easy!
