Nobody thinks much about water until the bill arrives. That’s the problem Elizabeth Mesegue tackles every day at Water Wise USA. With water costs climbing and property managers feeling the squeeze, Elizabeth has built a business around a simple idea: saving water means saving money. Her company works with residential and commercial properties to cut waste without cutting corners, turning conservation into cash flow that property owners can actually see on their balance sheets.
Here’s how implementing water conservation solutions can lead to significant financial returns while also benefiting the environment:
Optimize Your Flush System for Maximum Savings
Ask Elizabeth where most buildings waste water, and she doesn’t hesitate. “One of the easiest ways to reduce water waste is by inviting us to upgrade your flush system,” she says. Old toilets are money pits. They use too much water by design, and when they malfunction, the losses multiply. Her fix isn’t complicated or expensive. “With smart solutions like the AM Flush Valve, the system automatically shuts off if the water doesn’t reach the sensor in time—eliminating unnecessary waste.” It’s a small change with immediate payback. No more toilets running all night. No more money literally going down the drain.
For buildings that need more control, Elizabeth recommends adjustable systems. “The Flapper Flush System allows for complete control over water usage per flush, helping property owners adjust water flow to maximize efficiency.” Property managers can dial in the perfect balance between performance and conservation without replacing entire bathroom fixtures.
Improve Tank Efficiency with Water Recapture Technology
The toilet bowl isn’t the only place losing water. Elizabeth points to waste most people never notice. “Many properties don’t realize how much water is wasted during the refill process,” she explains. Every flush sends clean water straight down the drain while the tank refills. Her solution is remarkably simple. “That’s where The Enhancer comes in—it diverts water that would normally go down the drain and redirects it back into the tank, ensuring more efficient refilling.” It’s not rocket science. Just smart design that captures waste before it happens. The numbers add up fast. “For properties spending $10,000 a month on water, a 30% reduction could mean saving $3,000 per month—money that can be reinvested elsewhere in the business.” That’s $36,000 a year going back into a company’s pocket from a simple modification.
The Long-Term ROI of Water Conservation Investments
Talk to Elizabeth about conservation, and she’ll quickly steer the conversation to ROI. That’s what separates her approach from typical green initiatives. “Investing in water conservation isn’t just about immediate cost savings—it’s about long-term financial and environmental benefits,” she says. The track record backs her up. “With Water Wise USA, properties have saved millions of gallons of water, translating into thousands of dollars in savings and increasing property values by lowering expenses.” Water savings go straight to the bottom line, month after month, year after year.
Better yet, these aren’t theoretical projections. “Since 2020, businesses have seen incredible reductions in their utility bills without compromising performance while improving guest satisfaction,” Elizabeth notes. The old fear that conservation means poor performance has proven false. Today’s systems deliver both savings and satisfaction. Her pitch boils down to business sense. “The key takeaway? Water conservation is a win-win—lower expenses, higher efficiency, and a more sustainable future.” For property managers feeling the pinch of rising costs, that’s an offer worth considering. Elizabeth’s company starts each relationship with a free water analysis. No cost, no commitment—just a clear picture of where a property stands and what it could save. She also offers water conservation solutions at no cost to the property, the hope is that every property will act now without hesitation. In most cases not money is required to adopt the new plumbing. She will pay for the upgrades and the savings will pay them back. In a business world where easy wins are increasingly rare, that’s a refreshing change.
