The 90-Day Plan: DAY 26

DAY 26

IDENTIFY and REPAIR LEAKS

Prevent Your Household From Losing Money

It might not seem like a big problem but small leaks in your home can really add up...

Here's how much you could be losing with average leaks:

20 gallons per day 1 toilet

1faucet 50 gallons per day

20 GALLONS X 30 DAYS = a lot of stolen water

Prevent Your Household From Losing Money

—don’t forget to check for leaks in your basement and outside-


Challenge: Municipalities that provide water lose, on average, 10-20% of water to leaks in the system. Call your water district and ask, how much water they are losing to leakage? Are they doing anything to perform infrastructure repair?
