You have heard of the Texas Two Step out on the dance floor. Now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has a new move for you about water usage.
The Texas Trickle encourages Texans to rethink how much water they need when they are at the sink. A little water can go a long way when washing our hands or face, brushing teeth and rinsing plates or produce.
Nearly every resident of Texas been impacted by summer droughts. That’s how inspiration struck for the Texas Trickle. Water conservation is important year-round, but it becomes crucial when faced with droughts.
There’s no need to buy an attachment for your sinks or swap out faucets to conserve water. By simply using faucets at a lower pressure, you can reduce your water usage and save money on water bills, especially if everyone in the house takes part.
The best way to conserve water is to turn off the faucet when it’s not in use. But, when you do need to run the faucet, using just a trickle can help reduce your water use.
The Texas Trickle is also a good compromise if you need to keep the water running for certain activities. This makes the Texas Trickle an ideal practice for bathroom routines or kitchen cleanup by reducing the amount of water you use.
It’s simple to remember and do: use less water pressure when you’re using faucets. Instead of running the faucet full blast, turn it on to a trickle to slow down the stream of water coming out of the faucet. Remember less water pressure and reduced flow means less water wasted.
