Water conservation systems and methods of using the same

A water conservation system for distributing water, said system comprising:

• a fixture member having an internal passageway, said passageway having a first opening, said passageway being configured to transport a flow of distributed water;
• a monitoring assembly configured to sense a temperature characteristic of said flow of distributed water within said passageway;
• and
• a valve assembly configured to:
• transport said flow of distributed water through said first opening when said temperature characteristic meets or exceeds a threshold value;
• and
• transport said flow of distributed water away from said first opening when said temperature characteristic remains below said threshold value.

A method of using a water conservation system for distributing water, said method comprising:

• determining a threshold temperature characteristic for a flow of distributed water through a fixture member, said fixture member comprising a first opening;
• supplying said flow of distributed water through said fixture member;
• sensing a current temperature characteristic for said flow of distributed water through said fixture member;
• comparing said current temperature characteristic to said threshold temperature characteristic;
• and
• diverting said flow of distributed water away from said first opening in response to a determination that said current temperature characteristic is less than said threshold temperature characteristic.
