Lecks love to hide, but we are on the mission to catch them for a week (18 to 24 March)! About 10 percent of households have leaks that waste enough water to fill it 1,440 glasses every day. This not only drives your water bill, but can also damage your house and garden.

The good news? Many leaks are easy to find and repair – and we can help!

In your house

• Lower toilets are the biggest perpetrator: Did you know that a running toilet drained 200 gallons water a day? If you hear your toilet running all the time, you will probably have a leak. A quick way to check is to add food coloring tank and wait 15 minutes – if the color is displayed in the bowl, there is a leak.

• Tiny drops apply too much water waste: A slow drop may seem harmless, but it adds up quickly. A tap that leaves a drop per second can waste Almost 58 gallons per weekWhile a shower head that exits ten drops per minute 10 gallons per week. The usual culprits? Worn washers or loose connections. The solution is simple – lend the water out of the water, replace old washers and tighten all loose fittings.

In your garden

Sprinklerlücks are the quiet water wasters: They strike when you expect it the least, soak your landscapes and be very difficult to recognize. A small leak in your sprinkler system can lead to a loss of 6,300 gallons per month! Pay attention to unusually wet or soft spots in your lawn, which can signal a broken pipe or a loose connection.
