The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Fix a Leak Week (March 17 – 23) is here and WSSC Water is overflowing with tips to help customers save water and money!
According to EPA, household leaks can waste an estimated ONE TRILLION gallons of water annually… that’s about 10,000 gallons of wasted water per household per year.
Toilet leaks are one of the leading causes of high water bills for WSSC Water customers. A small toilet leak can waste approximately 200 gallons each day… that’s 6,000 gallons in a month and add approximately $400 on top of your normal quarterly bill.
A leaky faucet can also waste water and money. At the rate of one drip per second… more than 3,000 gallons of water is lost each year.
