Wisconsin DNR highlights water waste during the fixed week

Madison, Wisconsin – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) asks people to check their houses for water leaks and to practice household water protection for households in order to recognize the fixed one week of the environmental protection authority (EPA).

Household leaves can waste more than 1 trillion gallons a year in the United States, which costs the Americans millions of dollars.

According to the EPA, average budget leaks can waste more than 10,000 gallons water per year.

The usual leaks include worn toilet flapper, dripping taps/shower heads and leaky valves.

Repairing water leaks can not only save money, but also prevent water damage to floors, furniture and other properties. The EPA has a checklist to identify and repair household leaks.

The EPA also recommends looking for water leaks in the workplace of a person.
