Fix Your Leaky Faucets
It's estimated that 14% of the average household water use is actually due to LEAKS!.
Nationally this equals more than 1 trillion gallons of water. The equivalent of the annual water use of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami combined!
A small leak can waste as much as 170 gallons of water each day from toilets, faucets, and showerheads.
Take the following steps.
- Use a dye tablet from your water conservation kit to find out if you have a silent leak in your toilet.
- Check for moist spots around plumbing.
- Replace worn washers in faucets and showerheads.
More tips to reduce leaks:
