Tables for the detection of toilets and leak applications offer a quick and easy way to check for leaking toilets that waste up to 200 gallons of our most valuable resource every day and increase the water bills of customers.

Toilet leaks are often caused by a worn toilet valve that can remain slightly undetected. Replacing worn flapper is a simple and affordable way to reduce water waste.

To determine whether other household water leaves appear, DWS customers should check their water knife after using all the taps, cones and household appliances such as dishwasher that use water. If the measuring device is still moving, a leak can be present. Customers should also examine their water bill for spikes in water consumption that could indicate an undiscovered leak.

Further tips for detection of leak and water protection can be obtained from (808) 961-8050 or visit the DWS website www.hawaiidws.org.
