First you waste a lot of water, running it to get hot water - which is
not anything an apartment dweller would care about.

My thought exactly, all that water down the drain. I feel the
same way about running water till it's hot just to wash a plate
or a pot. I don't know if I'm technically in a drought situation
right now, especially with this snow, but I think it's something
to consider.

She should preface her just use "hot water" puffery with the fact that
the suggestion only works for water wasters and those with an instant
hot water dispenser.

Why is it puffery??? Is an instant water heater so unusual in the US???

When I run water down the drain, it isn't wasted. It's treated,
discharged into Lake Erie (via the Huron River), and is then available
for Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo and points east. Our water authority
brags that it's cleaner after it leaves the wastewater treatment plant
than it was when it entered the water treatment plant in Lake St. Clair.

What's wasted, of course, are the chemicals to treat it before and
after it's at my tap, and the energy to heat it.

That's a nice feature, but most people don't have that.

I mentioned it really because sf was accusatory and actually I am very
good at not wasting My power bill is a fraction of some friends,
but then they go from room to room leaving lights on etc. I also
loathe to turn the oven on for just one item etc etc.

If I was still in a house I would install one of those on demand water
heating thingies, they are very good.

I get it, but when you live with drought, it sensitizes you to
the idea of just running water down the drain for nothing.
Like the moisturizer I use, it says to put it on and rinse it
off. Then wash the tub. Like they're on a mission to drain all
the reservoirs. Somehow I get by using less and not rinsing off
the 'extra.'

Sorry if I seemed to be jumping on you, I didn't mean it to
be personally directed at you.

I have considered those, though I am sure spending a lot of money
on that would be a hard sell.

No, I am in a condo and we converted to gas three or four years ago
now and when I turn on a tap, presto hot water, it's very nice.

Here in CA we do have to be very aware of water waste because of the drought
so that would not be an option for me.

I'm sure you get used to thinking that way all the time.
We didn't get any rain last summer, and you really start to
think about why you're running the faucet.

And do you turn the tap off while you wash your teeth? I have always
done so even though I live in well watered parts.

Yes, for sure. Even while lathering u my hands. I'm no
angel, don't get me wrong, but I do try to be mindful of the
water than goes down the drain unused.

My Mother never wasted water. It came from the time when we lived in an
isolated farmhouse and she had to carry buckets nearly half a mile.

Yes, it does become second nature after awhile, plus the fact that the water
bill is about half of what it used to be.

I didn't know you were in a rain deficit last summer! I'm only a couple
of hours south of you (by ground) and we had more rain last summer than
I remember in a long time.

Funny how that works! It was such a dry summer, I gave up on my
flowers and let the lawn go brown. I'm sure it will be
another epic battle with crabgrass since the lawn's sparse now.
We'll be overseeding soon enough.

Wrong again KnowAll - I have instantaneous hot water in my condo!

How many canuckleheads did it take to subsidize that?

I agree about the waste of water to warm dishes. But the "apartment
dweller" thing isn't strictly true. I never lived in an apartment where
I didn't also have to pay the water bill. So I certainly did care.
