Ok yes. The best way to reduce usage and ensure efficiency is to reduce the need for so much water coming in to your home in the first place. This yes saves water, but it also reduces the amount of energy that is needed to keep it flowing and going. The water you use comes from a plant in the city and there are thousands of homes if not millions that must be serviced. Well, that is a lot of energy. It takes a lot of electricity to move this water around from the city to your home. So use less then less energy is used.
Shower with High Efficiency Shower Heads
They say most shower heads have a 2.5 gallons per minute flow and of course their are others a bit faster and some slower but that is the average. Try to purchase newer faucet heads. The later the model, you will often find the better the efficiency.
Good Faucets
A dripping or leaking faucet can not only be nerve wracking, but it can inflate your water bill quickly. Just like your shower heads, make sure to modernize your faucets to get the best efficiency and water flow that will keep the pressure high, but reduce the flow. Efficiency is when it is operating its best and servicing the consumer better.
Toilet Flow Keep in Check
They now make toilets with different flow types. The modern ones will especially have a heavier or dual flush with number two and a single flush with number one. Always check leaks or drips in the back of the toilet because these can easily be missed and if not caught cause much havoc.
Light up The Bathroom the Right Way

The best bulbs for bathrooms are the LED's. They provide good lighting and will cut back on electricity usage tremendously.
