Indoor Water Conservation

The mandatory statewide use of water-saving toilets, shower heads, faucets and other devices in residences, businesses, and industries, is undoubtedly a positive step that will significantly reduce water use in Texas. At the same time, numerous other benefits will accrue. Individuals will use less water and, in many cases, will see their water bills go down. Flows to wastewater treatment plants will be decreased. Expansion of existing plants and construction of new facilities will probably be delayed.
