Exciting times! Our food dehydrator AND the latest water bill arrived yesterday!
After I've tested out the dehydrator more I'll blog about it but for now a quick post about the effect our new high efficiency washing machine has had on our water bill.
Our previous water bill showed that we used 46 cubic meters of water during the first 4 month billing period of January to April.
This latest bill showed that we only used 29 cubic meters!
I suck at math so correct me if I'm wrong but:
46 cm - 29 cm = 17 cm
17 cm / 47 = 36%
So that means we've used 36% less water!
If you've been reading this blog you may remember that our first water bill showed 79 cubic meters used! I estimated though that our average was around 58 c.m. since our newborn baby probably bumped up our usage in the first billing period.
So this means that since earlier this year, we've dropped our water use from 58 c.m. to 29! That's a 50% reduction! Hopefully this trend will hold.
As I said before, I'm very impressed with our new LG high efficiency washer and dryer and would recommend them to anybody.
With the money we're saving from using less water and electricity while doing our laundry these machines are going to pay for themselves in a year or two!
