Attention! Muy importante! If you’re currently living in a house (which I assume most of you are), I suggest keeping tabs on your water bill.
No, not because you’re chugging gallons/day (hopefully filtered & not directly from the tap), but because you’re staying adequately hydrated & end up taking a trip to the pee shack every 20 mins. John & I rent a cute little beach cottage on the intercostal here in Florida & our landlady came knocking on our door the other day to disclose to us that her water bill has never been this high since she has been renting out the space (many years). 🙄
‘Uh, wow, that’s crazy. I have no idea why. Both John & I take pretty short showers…’ (unless I’m washing my mop on my head—which I didn’t add).
Needless to say we ended up tacking on an additional $25/month for the elevated water bill. #oops
Well, my extremely wise husband brought it to my attention later that it’s not because I do endless dishes or take lengthy showers but, because I’m home a good part of the day & make it a point to drink almost a gallon of water a day (we live in Florida..ok?!) ……..that our heightened water bill is due to the extreme toilet flushing happening in our little home. Whaaaaat?! I laughed at first, but then I realized he’s probably right.
Water is not particularly expensive in this part of the country, but apparently it is if you’re trying to stay healthy & hydrated. Needless to say the age old rule is going to have to come back into play….
If it’s yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down.
