How long have you been ignoring that pitter patter coming from the shower? How about the leaky spigot on the side of the house, or that running toilet? While leaks might sometimes seem like small problems, over time they can waste both valuable water resources and money. On average, a U.S. household can leak 11,000 gallons of water per year—enough to fill a backyard swimming pool!
Want to do something about it? Take the WaterSense pledge to fix a leak around your home. You'll save a precious resource, but that's not all. Fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners more than 10 percent on their water bills.
Common types of leaks found in the home are leaking toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and other leaking valves. These types of leaks are easily correctable, in most cases requiring only a few tools and hardware that will easily pay for themselves in water savings.
So grab a wrench or contact your favorite handy person to address leaking toilets, faucets, and other plumbing fixtures around your home.
