How to Conserve Water at Home in Northwest Arkansas (Inspired by World Water Day)

Every year on March 22, the world comes together to celebrate World Water Day — a reminder of how vital clean, accessible water is for life. While the global mission focuses on sustainable water management, there’s plenty that each of us can do right at home to make a difference.

At Town & Country Plumbing, we’re passionate about helping Northwest Arkansas homeowners reduce water waste, lower bills, and make their homes more efficient. Here’s how you can take simple, practical steps to conserve water while keeping your plumbing system running smoothly.

Water might seem unlimited, but even here in Northwest Arkansas, responsible water use is becoming increasingly important. Summers can be hot and dry, leading to high irrigation demand, while older homes in Rogers, Bentonville, and Fayetteville often lose water through leaks and outdated fixtures.



By adopting water-saving habits and upgrading your plumbing system, you’ll not only help preserve a vital resource but also cut your utility costs.

1. Fix Leaks Early adn Save Thousands of Gallons

Even a small drip adds up fast. A single leaky faucet can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year, and a running toilet can double your monthly water bill.

Common signs of hidden leaks include:

• Unexplained water bill spikes
• Low water pressure
• Damp spots on walls or floors
• Mold or musty smells

If you suspect a leak, contact our plumbing repair experts for professional leak detection. Fixing leaks promptly is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to conserve water.

2. Upgrade to Water-Efficient Fixtures

Today’s eco-friendly plumbing fixtures use far less water without sacrificing performance.

Consider installing:

• Low-flow showerheads – Save up to 2,000 gallons per person per year.
• Dual-flush toilets – Let you choose between a partial or full flush.
• Faucet aerators – Mix air into the water stream to maintain pressure while reducing flow.

Our team at Town & Country Plumbing can help you choose and install the best options for your home, ensuring long-term water and cost savings.

3. Install a Water Filtration System and Skip Plastic Bottles

Plastic water bottles are convenient but environmentally costly. Instead, install a water filtration system directly at your kitchen sink or refrigerator.



You’ll enjoy clean, great-tasting water straight from the tap — and you’ll help reduce plastic waste in landfills. Filtration systems also remove sediment, chlorine, and contaminants that can affect both your health and plumbing system longevity.
