• Small drips or leaks can add up to hundreds or thousands of gallons of water wasted. A faucet that leaks 120 drips per minute wastes 11 gallons of water per day. A constantly running toilet could waste 200 gallons of water per day.
• Fixing household water leaks, like dripping faucets, toilet flappers, and showerheads can save homeowners 10 percent on their water bill.
