In addressing the current unprecedented energy crisis, City Light is finding constructive ways for all of us to help ease the cost of higher bills. Installing efficient bathroom faucet aerators will take us a step towards that goal, and will save water, too. The offer expires on April 30, 2001. This offer is for residences of five or more units, located in the Seattle City Light service area. City Light, in partnership with Seattle Public Utilities, will provide an aerator for every bathroom in your building.
Efficient aerators reduce hot water use, and therefore save both water and energy.
Most bathroom faucets use water at a rate of up to 2.5 gallons per minute. The aerators being offered have a one-gallon per minute flow rate. In February and March, City Light is mailing an offer of a FREE conservation kit to all homeowners and renters in their service area. Residents who return the reply card will receive a kit containing 2 compact fluorescent light bulbs, a bathroom faucet aerator , a flow-rate bag to measure water use, and educational materials. Residents are asked to check with their building owner before installing the aerator.
