April 6, 2005Indoor Water Saver Kits on sale for Vancouver residentsVancouver residents are being encouraged to help the environment, prevent water shortages and save on their water heating bills by getting an Indoor Water Saver Kit. The City of Vancouver is making the kits available to Vancouver residents only (proof of residency required) for $12 (retail value is approximately $30). Each kit contains: one adjustable massage spray showerhead, one dual-setting touch flow kitchen aerator; two faucet sink aerators; two toilet tank bags, two packages of leak detection dye tablets, and one roll of Teflon tape. The showerhead and aerators help provide good water flow using less water. The toilet tank bags save up to three litres of water per flush; while the leak detection dye tablets test for water leaking from toilet tank to bowl. Teflon tape is used to seal showerheads and aerators to prevent any leaking. Using the kit could help residents use 15 to 20 per cent less water indoors, and 10 to 15 per cent less energy for heating water. Kits are available at Vancouver City Hall in the Client Service Centre on the main floor. The limit is two kits per resident while quantities last. For more details, visit vancouver.ca/water
