Low Flow Fixtures
What is it?
Installing low flow fixtures can substantially decrease the amount of water used on residential and commercial properties. Reducing water use through low flow fixtures is an important water conservation tool that reduces the amount of groundwater and surface water pumped. This increases the amount of water left in streams for instream habitat, recreational use, and provides more water for fish, wildlife, and riparian areas.
