WANTAGE, NJ - September 23, 2025 - Excavating New Jersey LLC, a leading provider of septic and excavation services in Sussex County, today announced the launch of a comprehensive water conservation initiative aimed at helping septic system owners extend the life of their systems while reducing environmental impact and utility costs.
The initiative focuses on educating homeowners about the critical relationship between water usage and septic system performance, offering practical solutions that can reduce household water consumption by up to 35 percent.
"Many homeowners don't realize that every gallon of water entering their septic tank means a gallon must exit into the drain field," said Mike White, owner of Excavating New Jersey LLC. "By implementing simple water conservation practices, homeowners can significantly reduce the strain on their septic systems, prevent premature failures, and save thousands of gallons of water annually."
According to industry data, the average household uses approximately 130,000 gallons of water per year—roughly 350 gallons daily. Excavating New Jersey's conservation program demonstrates how implementing water-saving features and practices can reduce consumption by 44,000 gallons annually, equivalent to 125 gallons per day.
The initiative highlights several practical water conservation strategies specifically beneficial for septic system owners:
-
Installing low-flow faucet aerators and showerheads as a cost-effective first step
-
Distributing laundry loads throughout the week rather than doing multiple loads in a single day
-
Repairing leaky fixtures, which typically account for more than 10% of household water usage
-
Operating dishwashers only when fully loaded and using efficient hand-washing techniques
-
Minimizing garbage disposal use, which requires substantial water to operate properly
-
Avoiding simultaneous water-intensive activities that can overwhelm septic systems
-
Preventing non-essential water from entering the system through sump pumps or lawn irrigation
With over two decades of industry experience, Excavating New Jersey LLC has established itself as a trusted provider of comprehensive septic solutions throughout Sussex County. The company offers a complete range of services, including septic installation, repairs, engineering and design, along with specialized drainage solutions, site work, and sewer services.
"Regular maintenance remains essential for septic system health, but water conservation represents a proactive approach that can dramatically extend system lifespan while providing environmental and financial benefits," added White. "Our goal is to empower homeowners with practical knowledge that helps them protect their investment in their septic systems."
The water conservation initiative is part of Excavating New Jersey's ongoing commitment to customer education and environmental stewardship. The company provides free consultations to help homeowners assess their current water usage patterns and identify opportunities for conservation.
