Saving on your water bill can sometimes be hard, especially when you can’t tell where you are spending and wasting water in the first place. As such, it can be helpful to learn some practical and easy ways that will enable you to save on your water bill. Here are some of the most practical ways to save on your water bill.
Utilize a New Digital Water Filter
One of the best ways to monitor your home water usage is through a digital water filter. Most newer models will come equipped with technology that monitors water usage. It can send you statistics on your water usage by gallons, by time of day, and even by person. These statistics should help you determine the areas and activities throughout the day that are most wasteful, helping you cut down on the water bill.
Install a Home Well
One of the other labor-intensive yet still practical ways to save on your water bill is to construct a home well. Home wells are great in that they provide clean water for free. All you need to do is pay the down payment for the construction of the well to get these great benefits. And if that was not enough, home wells can add equity and desirability to your property. This means that if you decide to sell the property in the future, the well will still benefit you. Just be sure to do the research to see if your property is suited for a home well.
Conduct Regular Outdoor Inspection
One of the more practical ways to save on your water bill is to conduct regular outdoor inspections on any piping that you may have. As it turns out, most wasted water is actually wasted outdoors through leaks and seepage. Not only will this cost you money on your water bill, but it will also lead to major property damage. For this reason, you must stress regular outdoor inspections to keep this damage from happening.
While conserving water can be hard, there are definitely some practical ways to save on your water bill. All it takes is a bit of effort and understanding in the areas where you can improve your water usage in your daily life!

SYRIA
This morning, the Security Council held an open briefing on Syria. Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, told Council members that the political transition in Syria is now at a truly critical juncture. He added that in his recent discussions with the interim authorities, including Mr. Ahmad Al-Sharaa, he stressed the need for future constitutional process that involves all of Syria’s societal and political components.
For her part, Ms. Joyce Msuya, Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, said that nearly three quarters of the population in Syria are in need and 7 million are displaced.
Since the start of the year, 960 trucks have delivered aid through the cross-border operation from Türkiye – more trucks than during the whole of 2024. However, we need more funding to sustain this work, let alone scale it further, she said.

United Nations Video: Syria: Update on Transition - Security Council Media Stakeout | United Nations
Today, the World Food Programme (WFP) delivered the last remaining food stocks to hot meals kitchens it supports in the Gaza Strip. These kitchens will run out of ingredients by the end of the month. On March 31, all 25 WFP-supported bakeries closed as wheat flour and cooking fuel ran out. The same week, WFP food parcels distributed to families – with two weeks of food rations - were exhausted.
No humanitarian or commercial supplies have entered Gaza for more than seven weeks as all main border crossing points remain closed. This is the longest closure the Gaza Strip has ever faced.

United Nations Video: Peacekeeping: Berlin Ministerial (13-14 May) to Shape Future Missions and Reforms | United Nations
Peacekeeping Chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix today (24 Apr) told reporters in New York that the Peacekeeping Ministerial 2025, taking place in Berlin on 13-14 May, will be “a very important opportunity” for the UN and Member States to determine how to address challenges to ensure peacekeeping remains an “important, viable, credible and effective tool of the United Nations and multilateralism in the future.”
Lacroix said another issue to be discussed will be “how we can make peacekeeping more cost effective, because we are aware that we are operating, and we will be operating under increasingly severe financial constraints.”
He confirmed that Secretary-General António Guterres “will be participating in the Berlin meeting in two weeks’ time.”
Joining Lacroix, Germany’s State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Defence, Nils Hilmer said, “we are convinced that UN peacekeeping has proven to be one of the most important tools the international community has an international crisis management. However, we still face many challenges with regards to changing conflict dynamics, disinformation campaign, or targeting missions. Hence, it is all the more important to discuss about the future of peacekeeping.”
Hilmer said, “we want to provide a forum for Member States to discuss how we can continue making UN peacekeeping strong, effective and fit for the future,” adding that “by participating at the Berlin Ministerial, delegations can underline their political support for UN peacekeeping, contribute to closing critical capability gaps, and reinvigorate UN peacekeeping reform efforts.”
The results of the discussions, he said, “will provide important input to the UN Secretary-General's review on the future of all forms of peace operations mandated in the Pact for the Future.”
The goal of the Berlin Ministerial, Hilmer explained, will be to “ensure UN peacekeeping remains at a sufficient level of preparedness for both current and potential future missions, and we want to increase overall mission effectiveness while enhancing safety and security of our personnel deployed.”
Germany’s Director-General for International Order, United Nations, and Disarmament at the Federal Foreign Office, Katharina Stasch, said the Berlin Ministerial’s aim, “is really to provide a follow up to the Pact for the Future. Actions must follow words.”
Responding to journalists’ questions, Lacroix said, “the United States is and has always been a very important part, and I should say, also a very important supporter of peacekeeping operation throughout the years. And we look forward to continuing cooperation with the United States. Now, when it comes to finances, I think that in any case, we are looking at times where financial resources will be limited. I think a very important challenge, to all of us really, is how we can improve the cost efficiency of peacekeeping.”
He said, “we operate on mandates, you know, those mandates are given to us by Member States, by the Security Council. We keep telling our Member States, please prioritize those mandates. You know, make sure that, you know, we know what are the key mandated tasks from your point of view that we have to implement. And then please give us an adequate level of resources, and please pay on time and in full.”
Leading up to the 80th anniversary of the United Nations and marking the 10-year anniversary of the Leaders' Summit on Peacekeeping, the 2025 Berlin UN Peacekeeping Ministerial is the latest in a series of meetings held at the Head of State, Government, or Ministerial level.
The UN Peacekeeping Ministerial will serve as a high-level political forum to discuss the future of peacekeeping and for Member States to express and demonstrate their political support. It will also provide a platform for delegations to announce substantial pledges in support of closing capability gaps and adapting peace operations to better respond to existing challenges and new realities, in line with the pledging guide.
