The Environmental Protection Agency says that the average U.S. home wastes about 10,000 gallons of water every year because of leaks.  Toilet bowl leaks can cause 60 gallons of water loss each day. Old, drippy shower heads at a rate of 10 drips per minute amounts to about 500 gallons of water lost yearly. Overwatering of lawns and gardens also wastes water. Obviously correcting water waste issues is better for the environment, but it’s better for your bills too! With metered water and other pay for use methods, there’s an incentive to make sure all your faucets are tight and working properly.
