As we run the water to the correct temperature before showering, we gather the cold water in a bucket. We pour that bucket of water into our washing machine, ready to use for the next load of laundry.
Our water bill was cut in half when we started doing this and also washing our dishes by hand. Only two adults in this home did not justify running dishwasher every day. Our electric bill went down by a significant amount, too.
