CWLP's Water Saver Kit—or any of its individual components—is available free of charge to CWLP residential retail water customers.
The kit components are intended for use on older (more than 10 years old) faucets and showers that are not already equipped with
water-saving devices and in older-style toilets that are not already classified as "low-flush". To obtain your Water Saver Kit,
visit the CWLP Energy Services Office, 1008 E. Miller Street (just north of downtown Springfield, between N. 9th and N. 11th Streets).
The components contained in the CWLP Water-Saver Kit are:
- Low-flow Showerhead
Saves about 1.0 gallons per minute (gpm) compared to a standard showerhead. Aeration maintains the "feel" of a full-flow showerhead.
- Low-flow Kitchen Aerator
Saves about 0.7 gpm compared to a standard aerator.
- Low-flow Bathroom Aerator
Saves about 1.7 gpm compared to a standard aerator.
- Toilet Dam
Saves about 1.0 gallon per flush.
- Toilet Bowl Fill Diverter
Keeps more water in the bowl during refill, saving about 0.5 gallon per flush.
- Dye Tablets
Help customers identify some types of toilet tank leaks. These leak detection tablets are intended for use by all CWLP water customers, regardless of the age of their toilets.
In addition to these devices, CWLP also offers:
- Lather Valve
For customers with newer showerheads. Valve allows user to interrupt flow of water while lathering, without requiring water
temperature to be reset. Can reduce shower-related water use by 30% or more. Installs between the showerhead and shower arm.
- Flip Valve, Swivel Kitchen Aerator
For customers who do most of their dishwashing by hand. Flip-up valve makes it easy for user to cut off water
flow—without affecting water temperature—while washing dishes and to turn the water back on for rinsing. In a test by ESO,
use of this device resulted in a 2.5 gallon water savings compared to the amount used to wash the same dishes while water flowed freely.
