Why not do what National Grid does to help homeowners reduce their gas and electric bills? NG offers a free home energy assessment for homeowners to save money on gas and electric bills. City can offer something similar to homeowners to offer advice and assistance to reduce water usage. Visit these homes to assess homes for leaking faucets or pipes that need repair or need water efficient shower heads. Advise that doing laundry and running the dryer in the evenings will save money. City should figure out how each homeowner compares to their neighbors just like NG does. NG sends me a home energy report each month to see how I compare. It makes me pay attention and work a little harder to see how I can save myself a few more bucks each month.

Wondering where the city can get the money to start a program similar to NG's home energy assessment program? Avoid spending any money on hiring consultants to rework why schools should be closed. Hard works been done. Make a decision. If the families in the Warwick Vets school district want to delay the closings, take the money needed to extend the life of the schools from the hides of people in that school district alone. Mayor Avedisian is right about questioning the extra money needed to hire consultants. It's time for the school committee to put on their big boy pants.
