Repair Your Leaky Faucet

Is your faucet leaking? Repair it immediately, either on your own or by hiring a plumbing professional. Besides that noisy, annoying drip, that faucet is wasting more water than you think.

A faucet with a slow drip can leak up 15 to 20 gallons of water per day. And for every day it drips, the leak can cost you more than $1 per day in water and sewage treatment charges. That's $400 per year for water you're not using!

Just a single repaired faucet could save enough water in one month to supply refreshments (water and Gatorade!) to quench the thirst of all the runners in the Mount Desert Island Marathon in Acadia National Park, Maine!
