Save water; save money.

  • Fix leaks as soon as possible.
  • Begin with an indoor audit. Check toilets by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank and waiting 15 minutes. If color appears in the bowl, you have a leak. Check the water supply lines under your sink for bulges in the hose or damp spots. And watch faucets and showerheads for drips.
  • Outdoors, check for broken or misaligned sprinkler heads. Also look for wet spots in your lawn that could indicate leaks in underground pipes.
