Leaky toilets and faucets can waste up to 10,000 gallons of water a year. A free inspection by participating plumbers during "Fix a Leak Week" can help Wisconsin homeowners put an end to the drip and save water and money.
March is a good time to check for leaky toilets and faucets, which can waste up to 10,000 gallons of water a year. A free inspection by participating plumbers during "Fix a Leak Week" this month, and videos and other information, can help Wisconsin homeowners put an end to the drip and save water and money, state water officials say.
“Fix a Leak Week,” March 14-21, is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense program, the Department of Natural Resources, the Public Service Commission, and the state Division of Safety and Buildings. These agencies are calling on all homeowners, renters, and property managers to find and fix leaky toilets, faucets, shower heads, and other fixtures.
