If you feel your water bill is too high and you have not increased your day to day consumption, you may have a leak. Two of the most common leaks are associated with faucets and toilets.
- Toilet Leaks
If your toilet leaks, you may be wasting enough water to keep a small creek flowing. Don’t assume that your toilet doesn’t leak because you can’t hear it. A toilet has to leak 250 gallons a day before it can be heard. A quick check can be made by completing the following steps:
- Wait until your tank has filled and becomes quiet.
- Drop a little red or blue food coloring into the tank and wait about 15 minutes.
- If without flushing, the water in your toilet bowl changes colors, you have a leak.
- Faucet Leaks
- A slow drip from a faucet can waste 15 gallons of water per day. That may seem like a small number, but it can make a significant difference on your bill.
- A 1/32″ leak dripping from a faucet wastes 25 gallons in a 24 hour period.
- A 1/16″ stream from a faucet wastes 100 gallons in a 24 hour period.
- A 1/8″ stream from a faucet wastes 400 gallons in a 24 hour period.
- Not only do you want to check your inside faucets, but the outside faucets also. Outside faucet leaks often go undetected because the water they waste soaks into the ground.
