[PDF] Best Practices to Consider When Evaluating Water Conservation

Best Practices to Consider when Evaluating Water Conservation and Efficiency as an Alternative for Water Supply Expansion

  • What kind of plumbing is best?

    Copper pipes are the safest type of pipe for carrying drinking water because they won't leach chemicals into your drinking water. However, for the best water quality, you should be sure to use copper pipes with lead-free joint material. The next best options for carrying drinking water are CPVC and PEX pipes.

  • Why is it important to know plumbing?

    Plumbing is Important
    It is responsible for bringing clean water into the home and carrying wastewater out. Plumbing is also used for heating and cooling systems, as well as gas lines. Without a properly functioning plumbing system, a home or building would not be able to function properly.

  • How can plumbing be effective and long lasting?

    Clean the Drains
    If debris and water can't flow freely through your home's pipes, they will cause clogs and eventually back-ups. To prevent this from happening, be sure to clean the drains at least once each month. In this case, it's okay to use a liquid cleanser.
  • plumbing, system of pipes and fixtures installed in a building for the distribution and use of potable (drinkable) water and the removal of waterborne wastes. It is usually distinguished from water and sewage systems that serve a group of buildings or a city.
