To use less water, it’s helpful to know how much you’re using and where. Liberty is a member of the Alliance for Water Efficiency.

Conserve Water, Save on Your Bill

Be the Boss of Your Bill

We want to help you save. A few small steps could add up to big savings.

Look for leaks - Leaks are sneaky and can waste a whole lot of water over a short period of time, adding up to wasted money. Check faucets, toilets, and showerheads to see if there is opportunity for you to save.

Invest in smart tools - Smart thermostats, smart appliances, and smart irrigation controllers all use technology to help you save.

Look for labels - When buying appliances, water heaters, electronics, light bulbs, toilets, faucet, shower heads, and more, look for ENERGY STAR® and WaterSense labels. Items with these labels are certified by the EPA to use less and can save you significant money on your utility bills.
