CLINTON--Water conservation is important.

A typical family uses 60,000 gallons of water each year--or 170 per day, according to Connecticut Water.

We're in the middle of a drought, and with polite requests for residents to use less water not doing the trick, the water company took a more aggressive approach.

Connecticut Water is offering $30 to each household that uses 10 percent less water in 2016 than in 2015.

Tips include implementing a low-flow toilet, which saves up to five gallons per flush, shorter showers and fixing leaky faucets, which can waste as much as six gallons per day.
