Check for leaks. Toilet leaks can be
found by putting a few drops of food
coloring into the tank and seeing if
color appears in the bowl before you
flush. Don't forget to also check irri
gation systems and spigots.
Twist and tighten pipe connections.
To save even more water without a
noticeable difference in flow, twist on
a WaterSense-labeled faucet aerator
or showerhead.
Replace the fixture if necessary.
Look for the WaterSense label when
replacing plumbing fixtures, which
are independently certified to use 20
percent less water and perform as well
as or better than standard models.

“Across the country, household leaks
add up to more than 1 trillion gallons of
water annually. The amount we're losing
could supply Los Angeles, Chicago and
Miami for a full year,” said Lisa P. Jack-
son, EPA administrator, in March. “We’re
not just losing water, we’re also losing the
money our communities put into keeping
our water clean and healthy. That’s why
Fix a Leak Week is so important and why
we encourage everyone to take a few
simple steps that can add up to have a
significant positive impact.”
During the fourth annual Fix a Leak
Week in March, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense
program educated Americans about the
importance of fixing leaks around the
home, which will save water and nearly
10 percent on utility bills.
•
The average American home leaks
more than 10,000 gallons of water per
year, which is equivalent to the water
needed to wash 280 loads of laundry,
take more than 600 showers or meet the
average family’s water needs for a month.
Finding and fixing leaks around
the home is as easy as check, twist and
replace:
