Take The Water Leak Challenge

Have you ever tried going an entire day without using any water? Take the challenge, it's practically impossible! We use water from the time we wake up till we go back to bed, from the kitchen and bathroom, brushing our teeth, washing hands, taking a shower, flushing the toilet, coffee, dinner, and washing the dishes. Most of us just don’t realize how much water we use on a daily basis. 

The Untied States Geological Survey estimates each person uses about 80 to 100 gallons of water every day. That’s a lot of water!

Common types of leaks found in the home are worn toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and other leaking valves. These types of leaks are often easy to fix, requiring only a few tools and hardware that can pay for themselves in water savings. Fixing easily corrected household water leaks can save homeowners about 10 percent on their water bills,” EPA
