RESIDENTIAL WATER SAVINGS CALCULATOR

This money-saving nugget comes to Wisconsin communities and citizens from Kevin Masarik, Groundwater Educator & Outreach Specialist with the UW-Stevens Point/UW-Extension Center for Watershed Science and Education. It is a Residential Water Savings Calculator. The link below takes you directly to it.  It allows residents of Wisconsin on community water systems to calculate how much they spend on water/energy for showering and flushing the toilet.  By selecting a municipality, the calculator imports the actual water and sewer rate for that community.  There is also an estimate of energy cost associated with hot water for showering that is based on the average electricity/natural gas rates from various energy providers.

Because rates can vary from community to community, it is difficult to make blanket statements about how much water use costs and how much could be saved by installing more efficient fixtures.  This calculator is designed to help assign a more accurate value for what these activities cost, particularly those people looking to right themselves in tough economic times.  While $100 - $200 per year may not seem like a lot of money for the average person, these days it can go a long way to pay the rent or put food on the table.  Some people may save significantly more depending on how many people live in the house, where they live, how long they shower for, and what type of hot water heater they have.  

Some of the key highlights:

The more people you have in a house, the more you will save from installing a more efficient showerhead or toilet. Replacing an inefficient showerhead has a quick payback time.  Not only are they relatively cheap (less than $25), but showering has added costs associated with heating water which also means spending less money on electricity or natural gas. It costs more to heat water with an electric hot water heater than with natural gas.

Lawn Meters

The cost for a lawn meter is $5.00 per month (non-prorated). A deposit check for $100.00 needs to be given to the Clerk when the meter is picked up at the Clerk's Office. The check will be returned when the customer returns the meter in working condition. The sewer credit will be given when the meter is returned. The $5 per month fee will also be assessed when the meter is returned. All meters have to be returned to the Clerk's Office by Sept 30th to prevent any chance of damage caused by freezing.
