Two of the most common leaks have to deal with faucets and toilets. Toilets Leaks: If your toilet leaks chances are, it it 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.
