Showerheads

The shower is the second-biggest water user in a household (after the toilet).  The average family could save 2,700 gallons per year by installing WaterSense labeled showerheads. Save water and money by switching to a low-flow showerhead.

If interested in a FREE water-efficient (1.25 gpm) showerhead, please contact [email protected]. Available while supplies last, limit two per household. The City of Houston Plumbing Codes requires showerheads to use no more than 2.0 gallons per minute.

Houston Water also offers larger showerhead giveaway events. If your organization or group would be interested in hosting a showerhead giveaway event please contact [email protected].
