How your plumbing effects your water rates:
Water rates actually vary on a three tier system working on 3 areas
Low Use
Moderate Use
High Use
All three of which have different water rates. The idea is the more you use, the more you will spend but on an exponential increasing scale. For instance at current rates under Low Use $46.70 Medium $82.70 High $123.70 the rate at which you use your water will increase how much you spend for that water being used! There is good new in this however, because the converse is also true The less you use the more you save exponentially!
Here are 3 easy ways you can reduce your water usage right now and save big:
1. Have one of our technicians perform one of our $68 water audits on your home! Its a full inspection and Tune-Up of your plumbing system that GUARANTEES you will save money on your water bills or your money back- 100% guaranteed! http://calcoastplumbing.com/water-audit-coupon/

3. Consider your options on High Efficiency Toilets which can easily be installed in a matter of hours by a certified plumbing technician.

I was having a conversation with a lady named Marnette who runs a GREAT local website and she was asking about what we as a local plumbing company have been doing for local water conservation, heres what I said:
Hey Marnette!
So the water conservation program we are doing had two parts to it.
Inspection
The first is doing a full home inspection of an entire property from where the water comes onto the property to when it goes back out to the city. There are a few things we look for including leaks at 127 different points both inside and out. We dye test all the toilets to make sure there aren’t any “silent leaks” coming from them and then we do a complete plumbing tune-up where we make all the different plumbing mechanisms in the house run at full capacity like they should and do all the manufacturers suggested maintenance as well. (Examples of this includes tuning up and cleaning the mechanisms inside the toilets and also flushing out sediment of the water heater which wastes water and gas energy inside the water heater – crazy). So at the end of our water conservation tune-up at every home there should be no leaks and everything should be running to optimal efficiency.
Federal Rebates & Upgrades
There are a lot of “energy star” and “water sense” rebates going on where the Federal Gov is paying for “high efficiency products” to be installed in peoples homes so after we do the whole tune-up and check for all the leaks we let the customer know what items they would benefit MOST from that the federal government is sponsoring. Its a total win for our clients and to answer your question YES, anyone can do it.
The whole service is actually a $269 value but we have been doing it for local people in the tri valley for $68! It’s pretty great. The amount of water and energy that people save makes it pay for itself already. In fact for people who are skeptics we offer a guarantee that if their water and utility bills don’t reflect the savings that we will refund the 100% no questions asked!
Whew! So there it is. Let me know what other questions I can assist you with but that’s one of the programs we are running for Pleasantonians right now
