Water Leaks

Household leaks seen or unseen can drip hundreds of gallons of water down the drain.  Not only is this water wasted, but also could cost you several hundred dollars a month depending on the severity of the leak(s).

  • Check all faucets and replace worn or defective fixtures.
  • Check outside water taps to be sure they are turned off at the faucet and not at the hose nozzle.
  •  Toilets are the most common areas to find leaks and one of the most costly.  If you suspect a leak, you can put a small amount of food coloring in your toilet tank after it has filled BUT DO NOT FLUSH.  If the color shows up in the bowl, you probably have a leak in or around the plunger ball.

Water conservation tips

  • Toilet: Place a plastic soap or milk bottle filled with water in the tank will help conserve a gallon of water every time you flush.
  • Showers: Take a bath! A partially filled tub uses far less water than a long shower.
  • Water-saving devices: Use the new water-saving devices that are available for showers and other fixtures to cut down on water flow.
  • Appliances: Only run full loads in the dishwasher and the laundry washer.
