WATER CONSERVATION <br />REBATES <br />DID YOU KNOW THAT <br />ONLY 2.5% <br />WATER IS FRESH WATER? <br />The easiest and most cost- <br />e ective way to save water is <br />to use less. Water customers of <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) <br />can apply for rebates on the purchase <br />of the following WaterSense labeled <br />and Energy Star quali ed appliances. <br />$25 REBATE <br />The average American family washes approximately 300 loads of laundry each year. Energy Star certi ed <br />clothes washers use about 25% less energy and 45% less water than regular washers. <br />$25 REBATE <br />Did you know that a dishwasher built before 1994 wastes more than 10 gallons of water per cycle? A new, <br />Energy Star certi ed dishwasher will save, on an average, 3,870 gallons of water over its lifetime. <br />$10 REBATE <br />WaterSense labeled faucets are high-performing, water-e cient xtures that will help you reduce water use <br />by up to 40% in your home or o ce. <br />$25 REBATE <br />Toilets are by far the main source of water use in the home, accounting for nearly 30 percent of an average <br />than $110 per year in water costs, and $2,200 over the lifetime of the toilet. <br />$250 REBATE <br />Experts estimate that as much as 50% of outdoor water is wasted due to overwatering caused by <br />ine ciencies in irrigation methods and systems. Replacing a standard clock timer with a WaterSense labeled <br />irrigation controller can save an average home nearly 8,800 gallons of water annually. <br />209 <br />ERMUMN.COM | 763.441.2020 | 13069 ORONO PARKWAY | PO BOX 430 | ELK RIVER, MN 55330-0430 <br />
