Repair dripping faucets by replacing the washers. If your faucet is dripping at a rate of one drop per second, you can expect to waste up to 2000 gallons per month. Check for toilet tank leaks by adding food coloring to the tank. If the toilet is leaking, color will appear in the toilet bowl within 30 minutes. Check the toilet for worn out, corroded or bent parts.
Most replacement parts are inexpensive, readily available and easily installed.
A leaking toilet can waste thousands of gallons of water every month. Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Dispose of tissues, insects and other similar waste in the trash rather than the toilet. Install a displacement device or water conserving toilet flapper. Be sure the installation does not interfere with the operating parts.
